Hi there, I thought I would say hi as I'm new. I joined this forum as I now have some time to build my train set I received as a child. It is a Hornby set with a starter track, so I will be investing in more track. I will also be building on a board, but as I am new and a bit rusty, I have a few questions. - I guess it depends on preference, but can anyone recommend a good base size of wood to start building and laying the track on? I know I will need underlay for track, but just getting the basics in place first. - Can anyone recommend some good magazines that offer subscriptions to get started with (ones with freebies is a plus - I'm a sucker for freebies!) Thank you and I look froward to learning lots about model railways here!
