Finishing the tear-down (finally) today of the temporary Halloween small layout I had set up in our Foyer. Decided I did not want to create a temporary Xmas small layout there either after all. The two 3x3 card tables the plywood was set on will go back down to the basement Wet Bar room.
However, on the Main Floor there is a large Guest Room that I have some sewing things, my sewing machine, a twin size daybed, an antique small french desk and chair, large chair, and a 1920s dressing table with bench in. Even with all of that, there is a large open floor space, that the 4x6 piece of plywood and the two tracks can easily be accommodated. Room to walk around.
Thinking completely Standard Gauge old school so I set it on the floor. I can put carpet on the wood, and lay the track on it. I could probably easily fit a 6x8 rug in that spot, so I may be able to bump up the layout size to 5x7. The O-31 loop (need 6 more track pieces) could be a nice (second area) showcase for my first original 1928 American Flyer O gauge set.
Pardon the clutter, stacked bins, and dust on the floor in these pics!
