Good start Jim. Are you going to finish those walls? I would.

Looking back I wish I would of done more room work before I started the layout.

The journey of a thousand trains begins with a single spike.  Or something like that!  Big Smile

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile

And before you get much farther, as it is a real pain to do after the layout is built.

Bringing back some memories from my last layout.  Similar room (sans window).  I didn't finish the ceiling, but used it to hang a series of single tube shop lights, and several strands of blue rope-lights (GE) for night running.  My next step would be to get some backdrop panelling up, painted in a sky-blue color.  You can always come back and add more details later.

Good start, Jim.
