Actually they don't unless you want to pay custom fabrication charges. In my experience, I've always speced 20' sections. Doc

Real sidewalks are typically 4" thick, which translate in HO scale to 0.0038' (.045") or 1.17 mm iffin my math is correct. Joint spacing is typically 10'-12' for construction joints and 4'-5' for score lines. Doc

Hey JJ, From one ol' cowboy to another, welcome to The Gauge. Sorry to hear about your grand dad. Nice of you to pick up where he left off. I'm sure he'll have a nice aerial view of the layout from where he's at. Doc

I use gel type CA, three tubes for a buck at my local dollar store. Works great. Doc

Sounds like a fun layout. Post some pics as you go to let us see how its coming along. One more idea, how 'bout installing sound with several speakers hidden in the scenery around the layout so you can hear the ghost train come and go without seeing it. Doc

I say yes, but only if it is a really loud one! Doc

Like MJ suggests, I use the gel type CA, pught at the dollar store for three tubes for a buck. Works great. Also less likely to glue all your fingers together. Doc

Great idea for a layout! I've seen a kit for the Bates Motel from Psycho in HO scale, but don't know if it comes in N scale. How 'bout using some rotating mirrors or lenses hidden behind foreground scenery to project moving ghosts against the background? Doc Doc

Greeting OT,:wave: My layout is a 8' x' 11' "L" that is also 4' deep. I'm 6'1" and can't begin to reach across it. I too have walls on two sides so I built the entire thing on adjustable rollong casters so I can move it out from the walls to get behind it. Even so, it is a PITA :curse...

dead chicken in the dining car, also not a good thing.

I searched all over CA from Sacramento to Bakersfield without finding any. Ended up getting the white beaded stuff at Home Depot. Make sure you peel the plastic film off first. Doc

I don't have any plans, but having just finished one, I would be happy to sent you some close up pics if that would help. Doc

I think everything looks better with the Doc, err I mean the dock. Doc
