Finally have some free time with all my lumber bought and my new drill and impact ready to go...and need to have my car looked at. So I'll make another post while I wait for that before I go home and start building.

The layout will go in the living room, as I am in a one bedroom apartment. AND my fiancé is on-board with it, if for no other reason than that my train stuff takes up her side of the closet right now so I have to build it so I can move that into the cabinets the modules will sit on lol

I did it, I'm taking the plunge and finally starting my first layout! (Well technically I bought the lumber this past week, but who's counting lol)

I will be chronicling my progress here, as much for my own ability to look back and see what I could improve on or to repeat something that I did as anything else.

It will be a simple 8'×18" switching layout built as two 4' modules. I chose this design because I live in an apartment and I know that I will be moving at least once. This way they will be easily movable when the time comes.
