I am new to the hobby 2 years +/-, but have wanted a train for , well a lot of years, I have a Vision Line Hudson and an Atlas Trainman GP 15 (TMCC). I need sone help on a layout. I currently run the Hudson on one loop and the Atlas GP 15 on another both controlled by Legacy , I also have 2 starter sets on 2 more loops. All I do now is run 4 ovals. My layout is 12 x 8 ( 3 pieces of plywood). I use Legacy to run the Hudson and GP 15 and the 2 starter sets are on Lionel Transformers, one per loop. I have been reading this blog for a couple of weeks and realize I know ZIP about trains but I have a lot of fun watching 4 trains go round and round but would like to do somethine different.
I had no clue that there were anything other than starter sets until I visited a LHS in Pensacola Fl last year (Trains by Johnson) and was captivatied by there exhibits
I don't have any skills in layouts, wiring etc.,(I have watched the Lionel Video's) would appericate some ideals,I did at one time have an elevated reversing loop , I had to be real cautious when running a train on the down side because it would go too fast , I used the Lionel elevated trestles for this
