I thought it might be getting wife’s permission!
I agree that planning the layout is the most challenging.You have one track layout planned and then you want to expand your table.Then you have to move or connect track in a different configuration or come up with all new track plans. I have been working on my N scale model railroad for four years and I changed my track layout 4 times.But once you get the layout you want which I finally have then its all downhill from there.
Having trouble connecting my electrical box to the switches. Train runs on track ok. but cannot get switches hookedup. Any help would be apprciated. Thankyou: Tom
