I am hooked on Lego trains for good. In my brief experiments with O gauge
(used Lionel purchased at trains shows)I realized very quickly they are too
expensive, take up too much space, and have limited play value. Once I screwed
the track down so the train would run well, my design options were limited.
With Lego I can explore the layout options with ease, and build all the
scenery I want with the other Legos about the house. Time to expand, I just put
down another sheet of masonite to build on. I have them cut into 4' x 4'
sheets that store easily against the garage wall.
I am planning a layout for the Christmas tree, so visiting kids are
entertained.
Make it good day,
Louise
