I see some folks posting some pretty good "finds" on here. I've been wanting to move my 4 X 5 layout off the floor and out of a difficult access corner to a table height more out in the open. Still gonna be small (likely 52" width to accommodate 24" radius and not much more than 60" so as not to crowd the small room much, but to allow an "outside" the main-line yard; this will maybe make sense when I can post a photo). Anyway . . . always "window shopping" . . . found this on craigslist for $70. Took me over an hour to remove the track which was fortunately nailed down so no glue mess to clean. 20 turnouts! A mix of code 83 and code 100. Anyway, serendipity and all of a sudden, yet another project is added to the mix

I think you did well Barry. That sheet of 3/4" plywood is worth $40.

NICE! I'm jealous now I got that same in N scale, and I run HO, so.... my HO layout WILL have N scale on it to force distance.....

Still NICE find guy and as mentioned, the plywood is $40 if nothing else! Flex track?
