jim pastorius posted:For your main line I would definitely go with 072 curves. If you use any tubular track I have a big box of almost new in the attic that is yours to use. The first thing I would do is tunnel through the wall in to the basement !! My layout is about 11 1/2 ft square so space is at a premium. I would use backdrops and false front buildings. accessories are neat but take up a lot of room. I have a big opening in the middle for access, would love to use the space but the access is too nice to lose. Do you plan point to point, loops or both ??
Jim,
Thank you! This room was part of an addition my in-laws put on so there is a brick and block wall to the next room. My wife made a suggestion that I go through the door into the family room and connect onto the Ceiling Central RR, which was also her suggestion. I thought it wouldn't work because everyone would hit their head, but looking or it, I could put a bridge in the upper right corner of the door and connect on. If so, I would have to get a track up very high in the new room. The other side of the brick wall window is the laundry area, and it won't work to run tracks out there.
i would like to do a loop to loop to make it look like the trains are returning, but may end up settling for loops only.
