I chose O scale because my fingers just won’t work around HO. F or the last 2 months I have been disasembling my layout inorder to change it. My origional layou was 7′ wide “L” shape. All of this is to say that I hope you can easily reach the 5′ layout you have. My recon is to make a “L” with the center removed (I guess I will need a draw bridge for me to get inside) – the new space for track is 24″ wide. Origionally I put down homosote down – this time am going to put down foam track liner. And as to securing the track – I agree it’s a good iddea to get comfortable with your layout before securing – I didn’t and couln’t easily change thing my inexperience produced.
