The hard one, telling my wife how much room it'll take up is still under consideration. Maybe I'll just make it in the garage and move it to the basement covertly.
Looks really cool! How big is the closet the tunnel goes into? Are you going to use it like a staging yard? I ask because this is where I screwed up. Even on a 17 foot straight I only have one siding long enough to park a 6 car passenger train. Other two longer trains I have to leave on the two mains.

Jim, the closet is something like 7' wide with two full size double doors. My thought would be to use it to stage trains to go out on the two outer loops. Will put shelves along the back of the closet for some of my other inventory.
