I don' think you will come very close to the far side. I would get measurements first and try to plan it out.
rockstars1989 posted:OK I am playing the devils advocate as usual. You avoid this problem when you design the layout. Provide for access to your layout in front in back and at least one side when you design it. If you have room for this obnoxious piece of equipment on the front,then you had room to leave a space in back.
Seriously, I think he said it all, there!
My layout was specifically designed so I could reach any spot on it, just in case because that one area you just can't reach will be where things happen that you need to get to.
I agree, but what's done is done. I ain't about to tear down and start over.
Wellllll...... either one of those, or a carefully trained orangutan with the reach they have. . . . . .
Mr UP,
When the larger layout was up and running we had 4 ZW's, 2 KW's and a Z4K on the power station or under the platform, with 2 DCS TIU's. No Legacy at that time.

I purchased my Topside Creeper from a forum member, Marty F. who could not use it around his layout. Made a few modifications, added swivel casters, drilled extra holes for finer height adjustment and it supports my 235+lbs with no problem. It stores under my layout when folded down and I have a passageway to roll it from inside to outside the layout.

C.C. Northern, now that's what I'm talking about. That looks like it works great to me and like you I will hide it under the layout. Cape Cod, I hope to make it there one day, I hear it is really nice.
Better to build the layout so that you can reach everything........
Well, one might just think that taking that concept under serious consideration could be considered a positive idea given all of the variables involved, not the least of which might be our own physical limitations.
