I have told her the closet can be added back later for re-sale value. It would make our house a 4 bedroom home. The way our house is built and where the hvac is there is tons of storage. I just have to lay down some plywood.
I had thought about using the closet area for control and a turntable across from the stairs in that same nook. This will be my first layout other than a 4x8. I would like to have running trains and point to point.
