This started as a design exercise inspired by another thread that includes a helix. But, maybe.... too soon to tell. I have the OK from my wife&partner to build a studio for train layouts and computer and other stuff. We recently changed the location to a "dead" spot not usable for anything else, behind our pool at the back of the side yard in which the pool resides. Coincidently, looking at a 16x26 structure. Glad we did not start construction earlier (year and a half ago), as this is a better location. I am looking at structure building plans, whenever I am ready to find a contractor, I have the OK, assuming the cost can come in at a reasonable budget.
I did an earlier design for a Montana Rail Link layout, which is still good, nothing wrong with it. But this could replace that idea.
Meanwhile, I am playing with a S gauge layout. And wondering if instead of a grand layout, I might do 3-4 smaller layouts in that space. Retirement is coming soon, could happen next calendar year (but I have been saying that for two years now, so who knows?).
