Never having space to setup my trunk full of HO trains; twenty-five years ago I saw lgb displays at Opryland and Philips Toy Mart in Nashville. Room for an outdoors train set I have. Purchases of the red diesel Playmobil starter set and four short pieces of straight track ware made for my then two year old son. Over several Christmas’ more Playmobil was acquired through the mail from Watt’s train shop, but my son never took interest. One year he opened a box of track and said “here dad, this must be for you.” So every year I set the train up, through the living room, around the tree, and spend a month dreaming of my outdoor empire before it’s all packed away again. This year is different - I discovered gscalecentral and spent three months lurking to the end of pictures. Having never acquired the necessary track for the 120’ main line figure eight, I took advice from the forum, and chose the most level plot, closest to the refrigerator, and made a start setting out the track I have. Now if I manage to post a picture, the saga may continue; otherwise it’s not worth our time.
