QUOTE: Originally posted by clinchvalley Multi level or multi deck or does it matter. Some are posted on my webshots album listed below.
QUOTE: Originally posted by clinchvalley Ken, I like the track plan you have posted, would be fun to operate. My layout is 60'x30'. I settled on heights of 60", 40" for the mainline and there is a 24" (operate seated) branchlines. The layout is designed from the start for ops. Larry
QUOTE: Originally posted by ericboone Larry, How does the 24" lower level work for operations when sitting? I am designing a layout and was thinking about going with a third deck to greatly increase my mainline run and spread out the towns, but I abandoned the idea because the lower deck was going to be just too low. My lowest deck is mostly switching as is. Eric
QUOTE: Originally posted by SteelMonsters On the subject of Bruce Chubb's layout, his lower stagging isn't bad at all. It's open as to help out if there is a derailment. Scenery is not of much interest below waist level, so there isn't much. The problem I have with his layout is the isle next to Lake Yard and Upper stagging is too narrow. There is simply too much going on there for that little operator space. Sometimes it can be like a switching puzzle just to move operators around that area. The rest of the layout is ok.
