Thanks for all your suggestions. I currently have a layout that takes up too much of the space of the room. It is 5 1/2 feet deep by 15 feet wide with a 2 foot by 6 foot yard.
What I plan to do is take the yard platform down and a 5 1/2 foot x 4 foot section of the layout leaving a 5 1/2 foot by 10 foot platform. I will then reinstall the track forming two loops with 042 and 054 curves. Once the track is in place I will do the wiring and make all the electrical connections.
At that point I would like to hire someone to ballast the track, do some scenery, ground cover and other detail work to make the layout look more realistic.
I know what my capabilities are and just want someone to help make my layout look more professional. I also know my limitations.
So, if anyone is interested I’m located in Wayne PA near King of Prussia and am willing to compensate you for you time and provide all materials. My guess is it will take about four or five days to complete the work.
