I have a career and a hobby that don’t see eye to eye sometimes. I have a really good job that often moves me from place to place around the country - and I am addicted to HO Scale model railroading (where many a paycheck has gone to indulge my 1:87th scale interest - never really liked N Scale).
Since I get moved a lot, my layout has (up to this point) been the typical “flat golf course” analog EZ-Track setup on a sheet of plywood and grassmat. It’s no Pelle Søeborg layout - and building a modular layout from scratch is currently out of the question (due to time).
I know … half the fun of model railroading is the journey you take building the layout. And I know I could join local model railroad clubs (sometimes there aren’t any nearby, sometimes they have so many membership requirements that it isn’t worth it).
But there are times you just want to sit at home, and run your trains … usually after dealing with annoying, clueless people all day long.
Anyway - I saw Terrain for Trains - out of box it looks modular enough to be bolted together (although they say “glue” together). Has anone tried to make Terrain for Trains (the HO layout) a modular finished layout? And if you hooked DCC up to it, how did you go about wiring it?
At first glance, Terrain for Trains looks like a good middle ground between my career and hobby - until I finally get to a point where I’ve settled down to build my “basement railroad empire.”
