It is a walk around, 6X8. I agree entirely about the mainline being toy like. I would like to unwrap the whole layout into a U shaped around the walls dogbone but I just can't talk the wife out of the real estate. To be honest the room is so new I would hate to fasten anything to the walls. I am an ex auto mechanic and reaching and fixing problems in the center of the layout is not as worrysome as doing the scenery in there. I thought about using liftout sections of foam so I could do the scenery on my workbench. The problem with that is hiding the seams. There is only about 4 square feet in the center that is beyond what I consider a comfortable 30 inch reach. At one point I considered putting a hill in the center to block the view and to simplify reaching things. Now I am thinking about getting out the tape measure and seeing if I can go larger with an open center. Maybe even put the control panel in the center and a tall stool to run things from.
