<br><p>Dante, I am a fairly tall guy and a layout height of 30" gives me a little problem while working underneath -36" is the minimum acceptable for me. But as you can see from the attached drawing, the gain by lowering the layout height by 6" is just another 6", due to the angle of the sloping ceiling being 45 degrees. I will have to think it over, as I may need these extra 6" for structures in the northern part of the layout. I just ran into Downtown Decos fantastic "Skid Row" buildings...</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RAUM36.jpg?t=1238653582" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RAUM36.jpg?t=1238653582"> </p><p>BTW, there is a big lesson I learned thru this planning exercise. It is so important not only to do the layout planning in terms of a track plan, but also to incorporate this plan into the room, consudering all "obstacles" and access needs we have! In order to visualize my layout in the room I am ponderimng right now to build a 1:10 scale mock-up of the room.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
