Hi. First post. My brother-in-law gave my 9 year old son his Maersk set yesterday. We're not collectors so I'm looking to set this up so he can enjoy it. I just bought all the pieces to motorize. Now I need track. So looking for layout ideas for a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood (along with any tips). Right now I'm screwing the plywood down to 4 stable saw horses (temporarily solution). Covering with astroturf (no splinters). We do have some Lego road and a few base pieces from other sets. I know he's planning on running the train, loading/unloading cargo, driving cargo around a bit, then reloading train. Have no other buildings. Considering getting him a crane or a train station for Christmas. But right now I'd like to find track layout using current Lego pieces that would be fun for my 9 year old boy? Please share your suggestions, photos, etc. I did download RailModler (on a Mac) but I don't see a fully current Lego track inventory list (no flexible track). Thank you, in advance, for all your help.
