Hello all,
It's been a year and a month !
Needless to say during these rough times, I've had a bit more time on my hands during the weekend's. So for the last three weekend's i was able to get back into my layout room.
Layout plan's have changed completely ! the original plan was fantastic and i loved it , but it made it almost impossible to get to the house utilities. Here in NJ inspectors are a bit of a pain in the A** lol , so i decided to go a different route.
I'm NOT one for layout plan software, I built my first large layout by simply figuring things out as i went along, and it ended up being a fantastic layout. The new layout is going to be quite simple, it will be an around the room layout with two lift up/out bridges. So far it will be a double track main 088 and 080 curve, with a small peninsular in the middle which will house the turn table and roundhouse. Width of table's against the walls will be no more than 24 to 30 inches, I've learned my lesson about having to climb up on top of the layout (I'm done with that). As far as an upper level that will be determined at a later date. One more thing table height will be at least 44 to 45 inches.
ROOM SIZE 26 X 14
LAYOUT SIZE 23 X 14
I will post pictures and a video shortly
Thanks for looking and be safe ,
Alex
