Beautiful room Alex. Looking forward to your layout and your designs as my room is approximately the same dimensions. I have 24 by 13 I just bought my house approximately a year ago I moved in and there's so much other work to do first but I'm just about there so good luck and looking for your updates...... let the fun begin.
Hello everyone
Thank you all for the nice comments and input, i appreciate it very much.
I'll most likely install some kind of ceiling, and put some kind of floor in. Heating will be 220 electric baseboard. My next update will not be for while, my guess would be December sometime.
Again I thank you all ,
Alex
hi Alex can't wait to see the completed layout! I really enjoyed running my trains on your last layout especially your double slip switch worked perfectly on my big boy engine and the engine I bought from you!
You are truly a great artist and very talented builder! hope to se you at York if your going will be there next Friday my good friend!

Hello everyone,
I've had the honor of having Mike Reagan , and Roger Farkash from TW TrainWorx design my new layout track plan for me. I received an email from them this morning with the final drawing , so I'd thought I would share it with you. Just an FYI i will be building the entire layout.
Here's a few details
You will be able to run a single train on all tracks or run three trains at one time.
LARGEST CURVE 080,
MINIMUM CURVE 054
MAX GRADE 2.5 %
UPPER LEVEL HEIGHT 7.25
UPPER MAIN LEVEL 054 COLOR BLUE ON DRAWING
INNER LOWER MAIN 072 COLOR RED ON DRAWING

I'll be happy to answer any other questions
Thanks, Alex

WOW, that's cool Alex! I wonder how I get them to do one for me, I'm still working on it. 
Looks lie a great plan. Do the lowers connect to the upper at about the 3 o'clock position?
WOW one cool ride there ALEX. Looks like a lot o track. Enjoy!!!!
Great plan Alex, I’m looking forward to your progress. Best of luck.

Good luck with the project Alex.
Nice Alex. You know that it will come together like magic before you know it. Chugga, chugga choo-choo!
That is going to be awesome Alex. I’m sure you will be putting your best work into it as you always do on all your projects.
I can't wait to see your progress!

Looks nice Alex. How does this match up to the room you showed in the video?
Alex,
Getting popcorn now. This is going to be a good one. Keep us posted every step of the way.
Dave
Very cool!
Alex,
My house is only 12 years old and I can tell you for sure 16” studs on center is a relative term down here too!
Take care,
Richard
Hello all,
Thank you for the nice comments, this build will be a very slow process as I'm super busy with repairs and upgrades. So progress updates will be far and few between. The way the layout was designed i won't have to climb on the table to reach anything . This saves a lot of time and saves my knees and lower back.
Coach Joe , Yes the upper connects to the lowers at 3 O'clock. it was designed so a train can travel on the entire layout.
Rich, here's a photo of the room layout which i should have posted LOL, the peninsula has been repositioned for much better access.
Thanks, Alex

Alex,
Enjoy building the layout. O am sure it will be spectacular.
This is going to be quite the build! For sure one to watch! Thanks for sharing Alex!
This is going to be something to see, that's for sure. I like how trains will be able to travel the entire layout. All the plans(at least 7 or 8) that I have worked on(dream layouts at this point, and unfinished) that's the one thing I wanted to try and do. When you start getting this to come together, maybe it will help my railroad block that I have(of course my time has been greatly divided as of late unfortunately). 
How many levels are there Alex?
