I have not built a model railway since I was a teen and now have a railway fanatic son. I have dug out what remains of my rolling stock and have tested it on some old track - and all but one of my locos are working!
I am now planning to build a layout to entertain myself and my children but do not have the space my parents had when I was younger, so need to have a baseboard that can be stored away and reassembled easily. The construction of a sectional board does not worry me - what I am concerned about is the joining of track sections where the baseboards meet.
Can anyone offer advice for an easy/the best solution - bearing in mind that, as he grows older, my young son will want to do this on his own?
I am planning a layout that would (assembled) be around 8' x 4' and am thinking of four 2' x 4' or two 4' x 4' sections - depending on negotiations with the wife re storage!
Thanks in advance.
