Hey everyone, I just posted my issue I created by purchasing the wrong size passenger cars for my layout. I am wondeing if a 60' Harriman car will run and look good on 18" radius? I found some roundhouse kits on ebay and was wondering if that might work. Let me know what you think. Thanks again...

Hi everyone, I know you guys like pics, so I thought I would put some up of my very novice HO layout. As you can see the track is just sitting on the wood right now. I hope to have foam board on soon and then the roadbed and so on. I know it is pretty basic but it is all I can really do money...
