You were not kidding when you said you had a lot coming. You need to put in for leave of absence from work and get the layout built. Can't wait to see it when it is ready. Keep them coming. So much fun getting the packages in the mail and 3 is way better..
I know it's going to take some time to get it all sorted fully, hence why I've not even shown you the job lots of used PlaRail or the N Gauge stuff I picked up in among all this (there's some seriously nice N Gauge there)

That 1.5volt small, half the size of a AAA battery sounds like an "N" size battery. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-N-1-5V-Durace...SwcwhVNO-e
I had some of those trees and never knew where they came from, now I do. Strange as they are larger than the Plarail trees but are for smaller trains. They are very solid too.
I love that set with the bus/tram that runs around inside the layout. It looks like its rail can be expanded too. Great truck load Nigels.
Are you planning on moving to a bigger place to store all this?
Thankfully I know this postie - well I should do he's been dropping off these sort of packages for a while now so he's ok with it. Although even he had a bit of sweat on his brow today lol!
You're dead right about the battery type Super, I've got some knocking about somewhere (bought them for the door bell lol) but not had chance to sort them out today.
A bigger place would be good, one of the things it's hampering is getting a full layout built, at the moment I've only really got room for 'test setups' lol! Maybe I need that 'man shed' now for my next birthday or something

Wow
We need some setup video!
I'm intending to get some videos up if for no other reason than to illustrate the differences in systems and gauges etc... but it may be a bit primitive with only test layouts laid out alongside/inside/outside each other
Then longer term I've got to decide which layout(s) to build in large scale, at the moment I'm leaning toward a Takara one and an N or Z gauge...
Happily collecting things all my life...
