    I have an extra Walthers Built-Up one.... Not the current DCC version, but the older, DCC covertable one.

    Looks great. Should be wonderful yard area. I have the older Walthers 130' table, and it works perfect with DCC. The only real difference is you use the buttons on their control, rather than DCC switch commands.

    George, ALL layouts are subject to change, and at a moment's notice, and without permission from anyone else, including T.H.E.R.R. Owner, or Board Chairwoman - LOL!

    BTW, I think it looks GREAT !

    Didn't spread the hot glue with the fingers, just glued the fingers with it a few days ago!

    Okay not quite the same, but still...

    And I've been known to do both, on the same day! Actually, there is something about using CA that ensures my left thumb and forefinger will get stuck together sometime during that session.

    The hot glue I am normally a bit more aware of.

    I went to open a bottle of CA and it exploded all over my face including my eyebrows, eyelids, lips, nose (that was an easy target) the hair on my chin and head. Gosh it was a mess.

    I don't typically use a hot glue gun. However, that will be changing as I start to add in the scenery. So, thanks for the warning.

    Bashed a Walthers 3 stall Car Shop Into a 2 stall Engine Shop with Upgraded Ventilation units !!

    The ventilation sytem has sensors that detect diesel fumes in the building and come on automatically to vent the whole place :)
