Reply to "Building a new 104 sq ft Layout 3-Rail O-Scale Track"

My 2 cents...

I like the track plan, but even if you can get around to all sides, it looks like some long reaches.  Not a fan of the use of casters - unless the benchwork is absolutely rock solid and the floor is perfectly smooth, trying to roll a layout of that size will cause joints to flex which leads to alignment problems, kinked track joints, loose wires, and cracked scenery.

Aside from changing the design, a couple of options are adding some access hatches (hard on the knees) or using a topside creeper (also a challenge).  I'm reasonably fit and have used both of those options and regretted them.  When I redesign my layout, maximum reach will be about two feet.
