    We might have more activity here, if folks weren't redirected elsewhere. :frustrated:

    Yes, it is possible to do it on straights. For corners you will need to take up more space and will need to fill in some additional space.

    Get your curved track pieces and put them together and see if they will fit in the corner now before you finish your benchwork. Remember corners are corners. While you may only have twelve inches on the wall you should probably 'fill in' the corners with a triangular piece piece anyway. Look around your home, when was the last time you stood in a corner? When you were five? So fill in that corner it is just wasted space anyway. Jim

    Glad to read this news. How about a photo or two when you get trains running?

    I can see that you have no interest in Harley Davidison motorcycles! :)

    Kinda makes me think about my Lionel days. I did love to watch them just go 'round and around.

    Enjoy!
