Hi there!

I was at the Lavaca layout today with my son.   You guys inspired me  
to pull out my old prewar O-gauge that's been in a box for many years.

I'd like to put a 6' circle around the Christmas tree.   I don't have  
track or a transformer.   I'm thinking that O72 means a 72" circle  
and that I need 16 pieces to make a circle.   Is that right?   The  
track will be on a wood floor and I can't nail it down.   Should I  
get Lionel Fastrack or the Atlas track, or something different?

I see a 30 watt transformer that's pretty inexpensive.   Is that  
enough to run a locomotive, tender, and 6 cars?


Thanks,
