Started for me some 14-15 years ago and recently ended with the installation of Ross turnouts #96 & 97. I'm a slow worker. Basic trackplan remainsthe same but a lot of additional industrial sidings and run-a-round tracks for operations. Added on to the Mianne benchwork five times as well as adding a lower level.
I also have Mianne and want to add on to it. I have their a 6'x16' package that they added extra holes in the legs for adding shelves or whatever I wanted to add. They helped me with the original order, even though it was a standard kit. I have already added the shelves and purchased a transformer cart. I would be interested in how you did all the additions to yours. How they came about, etc. I am interested in any tips or advice you might have.
Some questions: Did you start with the standard Mianne bench work height of 40"?
How did you add the lower level and can you run trains from the upper to lower levels?
What do you think about an upper level that one could run trains between both levels?
Did you just leave your first Mianne bench work as it was when you ordered it, or did you modify that when you added on?
I know it's very easily modified. Part of my dilemma is not being able to make up my mind which way I want to go. I know no one can help with that, but hearing from someone that has added on five times might get me going one way or the other? I know all situations are different, but your thoughts would be appreciated. You have also been at it a lot longer than I have and I am sure you have much more knowledge about all this than I do.
