Very nice, Walt!  Great preparation will surely lead to a wonderful layout and experience for everyone enjoying it. 

Have you saved your plans of prior year layouts?  Care to share them as well? 

Where do you display the layout in the house? 

Do you reuse your platforms each year?  Where do you store it in the offseason?  Just curious as I'm in the process of building a layout that will certainly see more use during the Christmas season, but would like the option of storing it, but also getting it out on a whim in July as well.  

Thanks for sharing!

answers:

1. yes, I save my plans every year.  I'll see if I have digital images to share.

2. the layout (11'x14') occupies my entire living room.  Furniture is removed and there's only a 2 1/2' walkway to get from one part of the house to the other parts.

3. My layout is a floor layout.  It's on blue board with Homasote on top of that, so i only have the blue board and Homasote to store.  I keep it against the wall in my garage.

ALL: thanks for showing interest!  It's encouraging in times when I don't feel like working on it.
