[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Larry NMRA Coyote, one thing I've not seen mentioned is the height of the layout. Usually wiring and other items are located underneath. And being over the hill myself I know it's difficult to work underneath sometimes. Try to make it high enough so you can sat on a short seat and work at a comfortable level for you. This is from past experience on a large club layout and a home layout also. Also keep main wire runs near the front with feeders back to the track. I know this is past the track design stage, but needs to be kept in mind as you design. If you can't wire a beautiful section of track or service it, it becomes a static layout. Good Luck. Larry NMRA [/quote] Larry, Hello, and thank you for the advice, it is always appreciated. Right now we are looking at the top of the layout being around 46" so the OL can work on and enjoy it, and that was her height limit. All great points though, will add it to my growing list of things to remember/consider. Peace. Coyote
