I love operating accessories. Some of them may not be too realistic, but I don't care, they're toys to be played with.
The dilemma for people like me is that there is only so much room on our layouts. So the thought occurred to me to have a shelf type layout in addition to my operating layout. Because I love to simply sit back and watch my trains run. And not just a single train.
At present, I have a very small experimental layout. It's where I am testing ideas for my permanent layout yet to be built.
So my thoughts are to build the shelf layout to house all of the operating accessories that do not fit on my operating layout. Operating rolling stock doesn't have to move. They can be positioned at their respective counterpart and activated where they stand.
Just thinking out loud.
