My train room is finally finished after two years of construction..

Niiiiiiiiiice!       Looks awesome. Great job, I really like the wood walls. Hope you don't cover that up with a backdrop. Keep us posted.

Good job!

Right in the heart of the Catskill's Steve, I live in the small town of Cairo. And thanks everyone, I'm glad you guys like how the room came out. This was quite an undertaking to say the least, but I'm very happy with the results.

I agree with everyone...that's a well executed project for sure. I also agree with the comment regarding a backdrop...think real careful before you consider covering any of those beautiful walls. How far in those beveled ceilings is the standup height reached?

That is one nice looking train room. Can't wait to see the pics of the layout coming together. What are the measurements of the room???....................Paul

Munster518,

   John your new train room looks great, can't wait to see what the layout will be like, make sure to post many pictures as you build!  

On a different note, do you own Munsterlander dogs?

Hey Bob and Paul-

The larger room measures 14' wide by 25 ' long and of course that's not including the smaller room when you first walk into the train room The ceiling seems to pose the biggest issue as far as designing the table. Height wise, the table would be a little over 40" tall give or take and 15" away from the wall. To give room for the trains so there not stacking up against the ceiling and also I'm not smashing my head constantly on it either when I go to reach for something.

Thanks Dave, and no I do not owner Munsterlander dogs. I'm guessing these are German Shepards? Either way, cool name to say the least.

John, 

  This room looks great!!!! beautiful craftsmanship, can't wait to see the layout in progress

Thanks, Alex

Fantastic I must say also,always like that type of wood finish.

Nicely done.  Beautiful environment for a layout.

If the sidewall height is an issue... I recently saw an article (in a British magazine, I think) where a fellow had a similar configuration.  He built the layout lower than normal, and used a rolling office chair when operating - sitting in the chair put him at the right height relative to the layout.

Looks fantastic.

Very nice and well done, always nice to have a project in your own space

The Room looks beautiful too. 

Great and good luck , John
