Man you should think about a plan where you could access your layout without climbing on it. It is very inconvenient and the issue of damaging scenery, track or whatever is always. You may be in great shape now, but down the road you are going to wish you wouldn't have done this to yourself.
It looks like you have good space for aisle ways and access. As long as I've been in this hobby, I can't figure out why especially in "O" guys make these layouts way too wide to reach stuff.
I hesitated to write anything because I don't want to make you mad, or anyone else. I'm just trying to share a little age-old advice. My days of climbing, ducking/crawling are over.
Sooner or later, it occurs to everybody....you don't have any track/scenery yet...
I apologize for butting in when not asked.
NA your not butting in at all.When your'e right your'e right.I can "just" reach both sides of the area that is shown.But yes even if you install access panels and etc.It is still a PIA to get down on the floor crawl across and come back up through a hatch.So yea it is VERY advisable to build what you can reach.Nick
