I started the bench work on my second layout. The first layout which is a prewar toy train layout is at the right of the stairs. The second layout will be hi-rail At this point it is a most wonderful layout because it is all in my head. Reality might be quite different. I have been accumulating Gargraves track this week and next I need to gather some Ross switches.
Just curious as to your room dimensions ? My train room looks almost identical to yours with the stairs being in the same location and all.
Can't wait to see your progress as you go along,maybe stealing a few ideas from you !
Mack The side of the room for this layout is 13 x 36 at its widest. The layout will be 33 x 11. That leaves me 2' to get to the furnace and the rest of the basement. I will also have a 3' removable section at the door in the event I need to replace the furnace or the hot water heater
