I assume the track is on the rear of the furnace and it's serviced from the front.(side opposite the track).

 

I'll mod the first file.

Moonman - 

 

Thanks! I really like the flow as well.  I see opportunities here for an internal yard in the lower loop with an engine facility - down the line, it would also be easy to add on a yard down the North wall of the storage room. 


Technical stuff: 


Yes, furnace and water heater are both serviced from the East side of drawing.  I'm thinking I will install a stud wall behind them to provide a backing between them and the layout - so layout would need to be completely accessed from inside in the furnace space under the stairs.  

 Looking at the drawing again, the stairs are under-sized to the east - they extend towards the furnace another foot or so - I drew them at 3 1/2 ft wide and I think it's closer to 4 1/2 - 5'.  I measured furnace last night and it was exactly 17' to the back from the 18' west wall. I looked at the stairs and if I were to run a stud wall along them, it would line up perfectly to slip behind the back side of the furnace.
