I'm with you Elliott, it's NOT just the extra material...all those boards may be obstacles for access or wiring. I do "L" girder along walls as well...the 2 x 4s are the girder boards with the 1 x2 flanges and 1 x 4s are used for Joist boards---use these to vary distance from the wall outward...just be certain that when everything is in place NO POINT ON THE LAYOUT IS MORE THAN 30 INCHES FROM REACH.

That makes sense.

The 30 inch thing... Thats going to be tough. I just have to add access holes in places. I'm very limited with my space, track (realtrax....), and need (having 2 loops interconnecting).

I wish I could find my copy of Westcott's book. I would loan it too you.
Your new drawing looks much more like it to me.

I have a book that I bought from Dewey (not sure which one it is), but since I have 2x4s I sort of went off on my own.
