Hi Don,

It is all flat. I was never comfortable with a previous layout that had grades. I do run some prewar Lionel (m10000) and some other O gauge that really don't work well with grades since they have no magnatraction or traction tires for that matter. It used to be quite the experience with the prewar. Going up wasn't as bad as coming down the grades! I was going to use some double crossovers but they are expensive and I have a lot of Ross switches already. Just for interest, where would you recommend the slip switches?

Chuck & BurkusCircus52, I think I understand about putting in a slight extension to the width of the table to add a longer yard lead. I'll see if I can squeeze it in. I have a lot of extra Mianne benchwork parts so it might be possible to extend this a little. Thanks for your help.
