This is what I’ve come up with so far. My seasonal layout is a petite size, just 4x6 ft. At Walmart today, I found yardage of an inexpensive orange sheer sparkle fabric to place on the bare plywood. Hubby Tom has a leftover piece of 2” purple foam that can be a base for a building. Most of the pieces on the table came from two different dollar stores and Walgreens. The vintage style wooden sign came from Michaels. I will have a 42 curve Standard Gauge loop running the perimeter and an 36 curve O Gauge loop inside it. This plywood is two 4x3 ft pieces that were hanging around. One is painted white. Don’t like it with the sheer fabric. Will get a full size piece of plywood to use instead. Several Lemax and Dept 56 Halloween items are on their way here.
I may get red or green of the same sparkle fabric if they have it for a Christmas version.
