    CMHN's Layout Build

    I was thinking the same thing, I was going to just do it in phases, but I may build the whole bench and then just tinker way at it. As for the wasted space in the middle, its not any bigger square foot wise as the isles really. I just put the 2 isles together to have enough room for me and...

    CMHN's Layout Build

    What does everybody think about this bench? It will give me plenty of room to move around with friends inside the layout, and still give me room on the layout for some great multi-train mainline running.

    New to Forums, with new layout.

    Well I have some good news. I decided to take the cover off this little train today to see if I could see why it didn't work. I found that one of the wires came loose. I got my soldering tool out and reattached the wire and put it on my track. It runs perfectly. I'm happy, I plan on...
