I set up a Standard Gauge floor layout for all to watch and ask questions , even passed an old 500 series freight car around for them to feel the weight and to examine . I got a lot of heart felt stories of their having trains growing up. It was a wonderful feeling bringing them some joy and in some cases bringing back fond memories for the day . I look forward to doing it again .
That is a great track plan. Very interesting continuous operation.
Thanks for saying so. I have another version of it that I would like to set up one day. Actually I would love to make this my permanent table layout. Its the same layout but it has six switches installed so one can reverse the direction of the train. All the cardboard cut outs and pieces of wood are almost spot on to the size of the buildings and light towers. plus a few homemade pieces as well. 16x6 is the size.
