Tony’s been in touch with an update on his 10×10 HO layout:
He’s looking for a few pointers if any of you want to leave a comment below:
“Hi Al,
my name is Tony.
I live in New York City in the US.
I have a 10×10 layout with a cutout in the middle for accessibility. Here are some pictures of it.
I used 1by 3’s for the frame and 2 by 2’s for the legs.
Then I used 2’-2’ Pink foam insulation for my base. I glued wheels on it so I can move it if needed.
I’m wiring in in DCC Digitrax. I am using Kato track for ease ability.
I’m not a professional so I hope to get feedback on my little world.
Thank you so much
Tony”
Thanks to Tony for sharing his 10×10 layout.
Now on to Tom:
“I just started this layout in January.
It’s on two 4×8 sheets off plywood and foam.

Next, Jerry:
“I have a layout I’ve been working on or started on in 2010… My wife gave me permission to actually take over a spare bedroom and after a while took down a wall between the bedroom and the living room.
I built a double decker layout and started building a helix but halfway through building I had an accident at work and almost severed my spinal column doing by a dislocated spine misalignment.
Pulling too many pallets of water and windshield washing fluid. Didn’t have it fused but had a rod inserted next to the spine screwed into it. The layout went on hold for at least six to eight months, then I found out I couldn’t finish the helix because my reach and bending were limited.
That’s still where I’m at today. Helix is not finished.. I can’t get help… Only comments that came back is “I’ll buy your rolling stock and track to help you!”
Yeah right! If that was my intention all the time! Idiots!
So it has been left unfinished for years…
Jerry”
A big thanks to Tony for sharing his 10×10 HO layout, and to Tom and Jerry.
