I moved from my old house in the Endless Mountains of PA after 40 years to SE PA. I though I would trying switching scales from O to G for my new layout.
After starting on my third O scale layout I now realize that, despite the beautiful detail of G, it will be impractical for me to use. People here warned me and I didn't listen. For indoor layouts you get more "bang for the buck" in O.
Now, I have to figure out what to do with my 5 car G train.............
Sell, trade, or display?????

There are a handful of beautiful G gauge indoor layouts throughout the country. Most are in large basements or purpose built buildings. Most G gauge layouts are outdoors.

There is probably a garden railroad club or society in your area that would be happy to give you advice on how to build outdoors or indoors. It may be helpful for you to tour some other G gauge layouts. G gauge is also wonderful for around a Christmas tree.

Best wishes on whatever you decide. NH Joe
