Oh I see ... 1:64 scale .. that's old S Gauge by Lionel Trains wasn't it, very expensive and rare nowadays .. same with me concerning space ... I still have a Marklin H0 C-track setup that I cannot build in my small tenement ..
Was different in my youth since I had a large room and a big layout then running there where I sat for hours watching trains run, was all being automatic
with custom build landscape and stuff ...
I made tons of real cool Wintrack plans for a 40" by 80" 'extended door' layout (2x1m which is somewhat 'classic' in Europe and elsewhere while '4x8' is in the U.S., right?) these days but neither I have had the time nor the money (MR has become extraordinary expensive nowadays ..) to have finished it let alone a matching corner to fit in
Do you know this page:
