After messing with the elevated track and trying to figure out how to support it, I have decided to slightly change the layout. I really want mountains on the left and right. I like tunnels, bridges and trestles. I think I have figured out a way to have all of this on my small layout.
I haven’t drawn it yet but there will be a trestle on the front straight section.
The 2x4 siding if a future upgrade. I will put in the switch on the far right but just add a bumper for now.
