Good luck Larry.
Looking forward to following your build.
I am currently working on a portable Railway. Built on 30” Threaded Pipe Legs with leveling feet. A simple oval with Gauge 1 and Super O track. 8 feet of straight track on each side.
I have all the materials. Waiting for a friend to cut out the plywood road bed on his Bandsaw.
Nothing fancy. My entire small backyard is a pool. So, the only place to set it up is on the pool deck.
That must be a heck of a pool Charlie - looking forward to seeing your layout when you get it built. I thought about going dual gauge but that would mean some engines couldn't be run downstairs where the action is in the bad weather and winter so am sticking to straight 45 mm.
