I have a nice O scale layout, great plan. But sadly its down right now as we're remodling the room it was in. Its on 2 4'x8' pieces of plywood, making an 8'x8' square. Decent sized in my opinion. :)

My best engine right now, is the 1998 Centenial lionel model. I have some buildings, a shipping warehouse, McDonald's to name a few. I have a lighted station with tracks on both sides.

ho is a little smaller tham my scale but by so little you would never see it but yes mine is on a pice of wood and if you look very closely at my model you will see that it is made of bits and bots that i find. all the platform are made of a old fence. all the building are made of photes off the internet the tube station and all the underground bit is made of old plasterboad all the roads are made from pollyfiller.
