    hmmm because if not i will just stick with code 100, the only reason people use 83 is because the brown ties, and the "right" scale, right? mike

    hahaha nice! she gave me the ok for a L shape layout that can be split ini two sections. another question i have a lot of code 100 track, can i use that in the back are (where its not seen as much) and use code 83 in the front? basically can they work together? thanks mike

    lots of questions

    i have a extra room but i need to store it because my wife wants to make it into a guest bed room. i was going to do it on foam board, but i guess i could do two separate boards and take them apart when not in use... how hard would this be to do? and also how can you tell if you have code 83...

    sweet thanks for the help guys. and as for the plan for the layout and size i am still working on that. probably small to start with 4'x8'? and i am looking into modern era, some steam locos, and diesels. but i am still looking into track plans, i have a lot of track, 3 bridges, a turn table...
