Don
Thank you for the kind words on my little Marx Layout. I got the idea for the inside figure eight with the loop outside from fellow forum member HandyAndy. When I saw his nice Marx Layout a few years ago I thought that it would be fun to have something like that in my spare bedroom. I had a spare fold up table to use so I painted a 4 ft by 6ft 6 inch by 1 inch thick piece of foam board green and went to work.
So Don, no permission needed, copy away, and I have HandyAndy to thank for the original idea. Wish HandyAndy would post more pictures of his layout and trains running as it is always fun to see what he has done in a small space and he has some nice looking print out buildings that look great with Marx Trains.
Happy Training
