A good friend and mentor has advanced cancer and is dying, likely within 6 months or so. As a diversion, he wants to get back into his model train hobby after several years away from it. I would like to build a platform/layout for him, but I have no real idea what I'm doing in this area. Knowing the wealth of DIY plans available on the net for our hobby, I thought there might be something similar in the train hobby, but I can't find anything. I'm hoping that one or more of you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks
David

Hi David
Sorry to hear about your friend.
MEC is a member of RC seems like he is interested in Model railroads.
