Has anyone used the hard shell (styrene) preformed molded layouts? I notice that “Terrain for Trains” has some for HO and N scales.
The HO one “Timber Ridge” comes in 4 sections and are offered painted or unpainted. You get the hills etc molded in place. You lay the track and install the bridges and you are off to a good start. I know it can be thought of as a lazy way to start a new layout but for some people time can be short. and this will get you at least started on the right “track”
It’s kinda funny–I had one of these 25+ years ago. Made of the white styrofoam. Simple design, came in very garish color–think of a 4x6 version of one of those pre-made plastic tunnels you can plop onto a loop of track.
