I've picked up a piece or two. I left all the Navy stuff in the basement so I could put out more pieces. And since I never got to put the Village out, there's a lot of extra space, so I put out the Hallmark ornaments, and some of my son's (really) old Brio toys.

The problem with it is I had nothing to put this on. The piece of drywall we used to use was damaged a few years back. I wanted to get a 4'x8' board from Home Depot, but it wasn't going to fit into my car. So there are 4 4'x2' boards on top of some planks. But I had nothing to hold the individual planks on. So they're on the floor.

Depending on how thick your 2x4 plywood sheets are, and how skilled you are at woodworking, you could cut a groove into the long edges and join them with splines. Or you could simply build a frame of 1x4’s and screw the plywood sheets to it.

Gosh, I haven’t played with my trains in ages! My most recent efforts were in N gauge.
