Hi Cary--
Welcome to S scale!! Have you tried talking w/ the guys at Caboose Hobbies on
Broadway. I took my Grandson there and although we did Lionel Hi Rail, I found
them very helpful. I mix scale & flyer on my layout.
By the size of things, it looks like you can build a nice switching layout.
Thanks CJB

Welcome to the group!
If you have the space for it, I'd suggest ripping the 4x7, and using the 2
pieces to make a 14-foot long switching layout. Maybe along a garage wall?

Hello everyone.
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cary. I am investigating
getting involved in S scale (not AF). I have a small, 4 x 7 plywood board that
is waiting for me to begin something. I live in Denver. There is not any local
train store that sells S scale. So I am having to look at various websites for
S scale things. I have seen some wonderful S scale layouts on youtube.
My interests are for the DRGW and BN.
My goals are to build a nicely detailed layout. I want people to niotice the
details. It is kind of hard to do that in HO. My friend has a great HO layout.
But I have noticed that during operating sessions, nobody looks at the details
he has placed on the layout.
I know that 4 x 7 is small, but it is what I have to work with.
Since I currently don't have any S scale items, I have time to deliberate
whether-or-not to take the plunge into S scale. The next train show here isn't
until November. Train shows are the only place I have seen any S scale. And
that was few and far between.
Is there anyone that models in S scale that lives in the Denver area or
surrounding areas?
Looking foward to hearing from, and communicating with, people on this site.
Have a good day.
Cary
