Here's my 6X16

That's a nice plan, I remember talking to you earlier about the Mianne bench work. Took me longer to get going than I thought. I might see if I can incorporate some of your track plan in with mine. Thanks.
The nice thing about the Maine benchwork is that you can reconfigure it and add to it when you eventually expand your layout.
Peter has a nice layout. The operating accessories need to be within reach of your kids. I suggest that you mount their pushbuttons on the table sides.

That is one reason (among others) I wanted the Mianne bench work. If I do get an around the room plan someday I can easily modify it to fit. May have to order a few more pieces, but it is really easy to configure. It's also light weight, but very sturdy when you get it assembled.
I like it. Buying the bench in kit form, easy to make changes it looks like. I have lots of room, L shaped area. Nothing but the lack of money and the anchor in my back pocket stopping me. No wife, kids gone, so why not spend their inheritance for fun during my remaining years. Really like the track layouts, tons of fun.
The bench work is great. I got it from FedEx about 1pm or so, un-boxed it, sorted all the parts and read the directions. Had it all put together by about 8pm or so and I stopped for dinner and to watch the evening news and another program. I am enjoying it. I'd say go for it!
