Reply to "3-Rail Railroading in a FL garage?"

Scott, I am on my second garage layout, Live in the Tampa area. You will have a problem with a garage layout in the Villages unless you want to keep your car or cars outside as a golf cart is almost a necessity in the villages. There are several active O gauge clubs up there.  Other issues are Fl garages on a slab will have a pulldown ladder for attic access.  If you decide to go ahead I have used Fastrack, now using Scaletrax with no problems from humidity. The only issue I have in the high humid days is the poster board I use for streets will wrinkle a  bit but it flattens right out with no damage.  The other issue I see with the Villages is  unless you build in the high priced areas with custom built homes you will really have space issues.  My garage is 25 ft wide with double doors so thereGarage Layout 2017SAM_0001 is room for some wall storage room to park the car and fully open the car doors.  Attached are some photos of my current layout. I use steel framing because it is so light compared to wood and mount it on castors as you never know what  may have to be replaced in the garage.IMG_1401SAM_0363
