Seriously ??!! Only 24" of track ??

Just builds you a circular track. That's it.

Will the power supply work with a HO train set ?

Yes. But this set doesn't have the connections to power accessories. I bought a track switch and realized too late that I can't power it. Other sets by Bachman can. It works great for powering the train though, and it will power HO or N scale tracks.

can or do we anchor the track to a board?

The bachmann snap track is very easy to work with and will work on a hard wood floor or very low pile carpet. Mounting on a board lets the new enthusiast get more creative for the future.
