Oh how familiar that looks! I wish I had done the spray foam instead of the pink stuff. Looks like you have more headroom than me.

BTW I pulled a dedicated 20A circuit for the attic. More than enough for a 14x39 layout.

To span the stairwell, I used G Gauge Deck Girder Bridges from Garden Metal Products. The track is 5 rail GarGraves.

I'm one of the carpenters in our modular train club. It was natural for me to build a series of modules to go around the room. If you have the aptitude, you can buy a good power miter saw, Kreg Tool, lumber, and hardware for less than you'll spend for the factory built stuff. And in the end, you still have the tools!

Go with the biggest curves that will fit! On the far end of my layout I have 0120/0128/0138

BTW, decent lighting in the attic for photography is a bear. Good luck with that!

What is the layout height and what is the distance from the layout till the roof starts to climb. I was thinking about doing the same thing. Leaving some vertical for trees and then let the roof angle up. Curious to what size your room is as well. My ceiling height is 9ft at the center. Thanks
