Hi Craig!
Thanks.. I'm thinking of doing this when I get the basement of Dodge Manor II finished but thought I'd better plan for it now. <g>

>>>What gauge are you interested in? I have Z, N, HO (Marklin and American) and Marklin 1 gauge – the big stuff. I am putting together an HO Marklin layout on a 4’ x 6’ table which can be stood up vertically and has wheels – in case we move! I had a couple of nice train tables and then we moved and I had to get rid of them. One was 16’ x 20’ in N gauge. No one believed me until a father from work came to visit with his son! Five locos pulling 108 cars up a three level layout and 3% grade! They could not believe it. What a sight! It was based upon Cajon Pass in the Mojave Desert in California. The yard was able to hold 400 cars, and had a working turntable. I drank a lot of Spaten building that baby!

Right in time for - we might be moving. Isn't life wonderful? It is for me, since we live near the railraod tracks.. There was a fellow from France I used to converse with on Ed Leafe's mailing list who was also an avid railroad buff.
