I just completed the base L-girder benchwork on my new RR (Santa Fe, to be set somewhere in New Mexico). I have about 7'x9.5' in a spare bedroom to work with, so it's U-shaped, with room for stacked loops and 'mountains' on the left, the grades back to 'level' ground across the back (and a nice canyon with a long tressel bridge across the window to keep it accessable [:D]), and a yard on the right. Track plan will be a folded dogbone with the loops stacked in the 'mountain', and I plan on putting a biggish staging yard below the left and back benchwork. I can pick up some more length for the yard by adding a couple of feet of surface that can be folded down for access to the closet in the room and the drop-down attic stairs in the same corner. Or I may put a removable bridge across the entrance to the aisle to give me a second mainline run. Haven't gotten that far in the planning yet. <br /> <br />And not a whole lot of folks will ever see it, I guess. Some friends maybe, and whatever pictures I put up in Webshots as it progresses. I do it for fun, and I do it for my own mental health and relaxation.
