well.. mine/my dad's model train set is covered with plastic models (the layout) but, it's a double loop mainline, with one of the loups going up over the top. HO gauge, on about a 5'x9' frame... no way is it big enough to hold all of the locomotives, much less the cars..

my personal set, is just in a box, and is N gauge, I bought some flex track for it and some switches, and when I get a place to build it, I'll make a small layout to run it on..

Gee, I hate to dissapoint you but it's just a quarter inch thick sheet of chip board. I started to stain it (for moisture protection) but didn't get very far.

And I love polished wood also as I took up cabinet making after my retirement. Perhaps I should show you how I redid my kitchen in Birch.

Well WAB, we seem to be unanimous in our opinions. (Certainly I have heard no other contenders names mentioned). I too vote that cRustyBucket gets the Emperor sized tin of biscuits!

I've already given Iron Duke the APO of my friend's daughter who will get more pleasure out of them while she's in Iraq.
