@Mark Boyce posted:Andy, Thank you!! It would be nice to buy all new top of the line wood products, but then I wouldn't have the cash to buy the rest of the track I need! It will all be covered with scenery, so as long as it is structurally sound, it doesn't matter if it is a mix match. I am rather OCD, but after 35 years married and raising 2 daughters, all far messier than me, I can live with the mix match!
Your layout is coming along nicely, and I like your backdrop (being the native of the Alleghenies that I am). And I absolutely agree about the structural supports and roadbed that will eventually be hidden by scenery: as long as they are well-engineered, solid, and built to last, does it really matter what they look like?
