Hey all.
I just moved into a new house with a huge basement. I wanted to build an O-Guage set. My layout will only be about 12x12 (Doesn't have to be square.. that's just the amount of space I'd like to take up.) I could do a huge set as my basement is probably 1600 square feet, and is mostly empty. But I want to start on the smaller side, but also, not just a putting an oval 4x8 piece of plywood either.
Are there any good sites, books, PDF's anyone can recommend? I can't seem to find much online with exception of a bunch of layouts with no track labeling or list of tracks used in the layout.
I tried a few designs on RailModeler Pro, but haven't been happy with the results. What I'm looking for are some good layout plans with the track sizes and quantities..
Also I need to build a table. It sounds idiotic, but are there any basic plans to make a table? I have a circular saw and a jigsaw.. and I'm pretty handy... but I don't want to go out and buy a bunch of 2x4's and plywood and just start making a table. Or is that what everyone does?
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
