Welcome

So here is yet another off and on again venture.

Just a brief overview, I'm creating these layouts for my son who is two years old. I ask what he wants included, and make the connections for him. Our base sets are the Toys R Us (TRU) Imaginarium City Center set, Thomas the Tank's Tidmuth Sheds, and a 100 piece train set called Yukon Express. That's all. I'll add parts as we acquire them. The largest limits on the layouts at the moment are the surface area: when all buildings are used, there isn't a lot of space left over; elevated track pieces/raisers; male to male/female to female track pieces (currently 3 and 1 respectively) and how much interference I get from the dude while setting everything up.

We have or are going to sell the Engine Shed and wheel from the Imaniarium set, along with the four engines.

For trains the little guy has two Thomas the Tanks, 1 Diesel, 1 Mavis, and 1 Ben from the Thomas line. Wilson, Koko and Brewster from Chuggington, and the various cargo cars from the other lines for any of you wondering.

That said, most of these tracks only last a few hours. Some mere minutes. I'll try to capture as much as I can. Maybe some one can find some ideas in here.
