Well we finally added the two 1 foot extensions to the
original 4x4 table and added another loop of track.
We also picked up a better transformer my son
really enjoys the brake and momentum feature.
Have a look !
Next week we will be getting rid of the steel track on the inside and replacing it with some Bachmann or Atlas track of the same radius.

| hi,like it,and glad others enjoy it,what toys are all about,i have both bachmann and kato grey systems,and prefer the kato,the main weekness of the backmann system i see is the fish plates on second hand track they can be easier to break bend etc,but if replaced in beginning give years of service good luck and god bless you all from uk ken

Thanks for the kind words guys !
This HO stuff is fun and for the first time in years Im
looking foward to going to a train show next weekend
knowing We will be able to pick up some stuff without spending 3 or 4
hundred dollars !
The little guy made a video of our favorite locomotive
running on the layout...I just wish he asked me first to take it
out of the box when Im not home.

| I especially like the tables you made... they really look classy. Next time I do a 4x8 I think I want to stain/polish the benchwork or at least the tabletop. Makes it look more like furniture.
