@AmFlyer posted:With more space comes more opportunity! I am wondering how all those short sidings will be used, it looks like some will be hard to reach. My experience with sidings and knuckle couplers has been mixed. One reason is there was a multi year run of AF by Lionel with couplers that did not open wide enough to function correctly. The original Gilbert are ok and the latest production runs from Lionel are better. If all you want to do is drop and pick up cars with an engine with electrocouplers, that works. If you want to break up a string of cars then each siding needs an uncoupler, more $$$ required.
If you keep expanding the layout you will become a great Lionel customer with all the FasTrack purchases.
I have 360-degree access around all sides of this layout, on a rolling table in addition.
