Reply to "4x6 / 4x8 Expandable Layout"

Thank you all for the suggestions and feedback. I was thinking about what kind of scenery I would like to build on the layout and I've changed my mind about the siding and will just stick to the loops. If I change my mind again I can always sneak one in (probably like Steve's second alternative design).

I've laid out the outerloop of the track and I like everything about it except for the 1 3/8" vertical spacers on either end of the loop, I'm worried about overhang on the back edge of the layout again. If I take them out though, I'm not sure I'll have enough space for the bridge, unless I were to carve one directly into the foam (unplanned). I'll build the layout with the spacers and see how bad locomotive hang is, then see where things are then.

Thank you EVERYONE for your suggestions! They've helped me tremendously!
