Hi Kris, I use the upper floor of a post and beam garage for the layout. I have found a few challanges
but so far it has been good decision. The biggest issue for me is that there is no climate control so
working in a parka during the winter is a lot of fun. The biggest impact on layout design is the
slope of the roof and how to avoid not loosing a lot of floor square footage. The first concesion was
the height of the benchwork had to be limited to 40 inches to ultimately provide enough clearance
for rolling stock on the upper level. The other impact of the roof slope/open rafters was I decided to
use a valance/view block with the switch control panels. All in all I'm happy with the outcome. Good luck
with your house hunting. Mike
