Well now I am thinking about going double deck. Currenty I have a around the room layout that is 12X8. I built everything in 2x4 foot modules except for the corners that are 2X2. Most of the layout is 3/8 ply, only the new addition has foam on it (1"). So no how do I convert this layout ?? Part of the reason I want to go to the 2 level is because I added a 8X2 addition to the front of the layout so now its a 12'x4' which is to deep and looks odd. <br />The issue is that I want to keep some of the modules and not rebuild them, but others I do. The layout is based on the City of Portland, Maine and the switching around it. But because of poor design its a switching nightmare. It can take 2-3 hours to switch all the cars out. <br /> <br />The major modules are Waterfront (2) 2x4, Papermill (2) 2x4 and yard and round house 4x8. <br /> <br />I have some pics on my site <br />http://community.webshots.com/user/nhguy21 <br /> <br />Any idea's ?? <br /> <br />Josh <br />
