Didingtonn - OO Gauge Layout by Lmsrail

Post by lmsrail »

Hi, the baseboard is up for my new layout Didingtonn. It's going to be OO gauge and going to be much much bigger than my previous layouts. Pics will hopefully be up soon!

Are you going to put the track straight down on the boards or raise the track bed.

OK, all over the layout i want to have lights etc. Should i just add a resistor and attatch it straight to the track power?
