  I have a couple of Lionel trains I put up under the Christmas tree for the grandchildren to play with. What started a few years ago as a simple loop around the tree with a couple of houses has developed into 2 "L" shaped loops that I can run 2 trains on at the same time with sidings and a small town. Now that I'm retired I want to set up a more permanent layout that grandpa can play with. Of course I can't be nude while playing with my trains because I must wear my engineer hat.

  Yes but an engineers hat, or over here in the uk a station masters hat, is perfctly acceptable in my eyes, nothing else just the hat!
  Anyway good to hear from you & as & when you build something more substantial i'd love to see some pics.

  I do large scale modeling. I have an 0-4-2 Chloe in 3" scale almost ready to run, an 0-4-0 in 1" scale that still needs the cylinders machined, a 2 1/2" scale Shay that is about 2% complete, and a 4-4-0 North Pacific Coast cab forward that is still in the drawing stage.  I am using # 12 north Pacific Coast for a guidelane against known dimentions and photographs.  All are or will be live steam models.

  Both of us are into HO in a big way. We have a very large group here in Ottawa that gets together on a regular basis - usually every Friday night during the fall, winter & spring.
  We have a steam/diesel era layout from southwestern Ontario where I grew up. Over 100 ft end to end.

  Jaime,
  Try building what the call a "Time Save" which will drive you nuts until you get used to it, and then it's a lot of fun. Google the plans.
  You can guild it on a door panel, so it doesn't take up too much room.

  Here is the layout I used to have. It was in a building I have that is separate from the house. It got flooded in 2016, but not before I got my rolling stock and electrics out first. The building partially floated and so did my layout table, so the tracks stayed dry.
  It had 3 loops that were interconnected with turnouts, so I could run 3 trains at one time and switch them to different tracks while doing it if I timed it right.
