Hello all,
Thank you for the nice comments, this build will be a very slow process as I'm super busy with repairs and upgrades. So progress updates will be far and few between. The way the layout was designed i won't have to climb on the table to reach anything . This saves a lot of time and saves my knees and lower back.
Coach Joe , Yes the upper connects to the lowers at 3 O'clock. it was designed so a train can travel on the entire layout.
Rich, here's a photo of the room layout which i should have posted LOL, the peninsula has been repositioned for much better access.
Thanks, Alex
