A Small Layout for the Kids

A Small Layout for the Kids


Here is a 4' x 4' layout I built yesterday for my twin boys to run their trains on. I already had the table, so I added some extruded foam board to help deaden the sound, painted it green with some acrylic paint and a foam roller, added the track, wired it, and added the trains. The boys then added their own vehicles and structures to make a great layout for play. The track is a mix of Lionel, K-Line and Marx sections I had on hand. The switch (turnout) is an old Marx manual, and note that the Lionel steamer has no problems whatsoever running through the Marx switch - something many say is not possible! I hope there is some inspiration here to get you started.
