Other Alternatives To A 4X8 Layout?
Many people want to enter the model railroading hobby with a HO scale train set(with a circle or oval of track). But, there are a lot of apartment dwellers, condominium dwellers, and urbanites that don't have enough room to build a 4 foot by 8 foot layout(4X8). The 4X8 may not be the best footprint for some people to get started into model railroading because you would need at least 8 feet by 10 feet of space to fit that table into a room(by putting a 4-foot side of the plywood against the wall and having at least a two-foot aisle to walk around the layout).

Anyone else having problems with MRH and the latest version of Firefox ?
I can't stay logged in since Firefox updated last week. It's still set to accept cookies. All the other sites I visit work fine, but I have to log in here with almost every link I click.
On the upside, Trainmaster's TV works a lot better.

Hello Members!
Is there a mathematic formula to determine a radius, or a chart. that describes how to determine a radius for a layout by sizes. 24" X 36"; 36" X 48" etc. My goal is to develop an ON30 Dog Bone type layout on the smallest surface space possible.
Thanks in advance for your assistance'..
