I just went to a hobby shop alittle further down the road than I usually go and seen that Woodland Scenics makes a "layout in a box". Has anyone seen this? I believe its called the "River Pass" or something. Anyways, looked kinda interesting and with my status (being in the in the military and not knowing how much longer I'll be here) it seemed like it may be beneficial to just go ahead and invest in that instead of the layout I have begun to start. Although I like the switching that I could do on the layout I planned, doing a mountain layout seems cheaper and just as interesting. Not to mention, that layout calls for code 83 track....I haven't bought too much more than a few switches and about 2 boxes of flex-track so far....Anyways, all I'm asking is does this somewhat "layout in a box" seem like a good deal? I'm not very new to modelling, but model railroading....well...a I have a few months under my belt.... Also, because not only am I planning on getting very much into this hobby, should I just start buying code 83 track? Seems more realistic, and has more options. I have made plenty of mistakes so far...and spent money on alot of things that I could have gotten a better deal on, so to stop this, please, any insight you more experienced guys may have on these questions could really help out! Thanks guys!
