Checking in to see how you are progressing. Hope all is going well.

Good morning Eddie.
It is coming along, so to speak. I’m helping my son move out this weekend and then the work begins, including ordering more Mianne Benchwork. The ordeal the past month has been waffling back and forth on whether it will be O based or HO based, and to run the scale that was not chosen at my train clubs. Both have their benefits and drawbacks, one day I will be 100% O and how could I think of anything else, and then the next day I will be 100% HO and how could I think of anything else. Rinse, wash, repeat.
The only thing that is certain is that the subway level is very likely not to happen, no matter which scale. Too complex to do in the manner in which I want it done in the short period of time I have. The possibility of having a raised second level so that I have both scales has been thought of, but the second level would have to be a point-to-point as I’m not going to have two sets of bridges of different elevations by the entrance door. Would have to determine which scale I would want to do switching with as I don’t have any freight rolling stock. My passenger equipment - both what I have in stock and in the soon to be purchased timeline – are best meant for continuous loop running. Shuttling a 4-car subway unit (54-63” O or 28” HO) back on forth on 30± feet of track would work, but an 8+ foot long commuter or Amtrak passenger consists would not be ideal.
P.S. My Mianne Benchwork legs are 34 inches in height.
