Where do I set up my model train layout?

The simple model train layout platform should really be just that, simple. It can and also probably should be movable and easy to store when not in use.

Once this platform is put together it is lightweight, easy to move around and can be stored easily when not in use. It is a great way to begin, a straight forward simple design made to be used for a first time out of the box train set found online or at your local hobby store. It helps you get your "feet wet" while you determine just how much and how far you want to go with the hobby while adding some stability and a theme to run the trains with.

Again, my recommendation is to work with your significant other, child or children when putting the train set together. While the end result may not be exactly what you want due to the required compromises and interpretations that come when working with others. The time spent collaborating and working together will be invaluable and create some very lasting memories.
