Thanks for the advice. I've been doing a ton of research, and I think I'm going to take your advice Glenn and go with the Kato stuff. Laying track sounds like an art form I don't currently have the time to master. Maybe when my life affords more free time.

Right now I just want to put together an interesting layout for my boy, that goes up with as little trouble or effort possible. I know it costs more. But right now I have a little more extra money than I do time.


I appreciate the input.

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and model trains in general. I was hoping for a bit of help.

I'm starting the planning process for a N scale layout for my 9 yr old. He's kept his little n scale set running for a couple of years now, and I promised him a full layout if he took care of it. Stupid me!

Anyway, I think I'm going to stick with the ez track, since he already has quite a few pieces from his set. I've had a hard time locating any track plans for EZ track. I'm thinking a pretty big layout (3x 5 or 4x8) with a double loop and some stuff in the middle.

Does anyone know if such a reference exists online or is this just a trial and error kind of approach, with the layout design?

Also, does anyone know about doing grade changes with EZ? (nothing major, just a little for interest)
