Hi, <br /> <br />I am at the stage in which I am working with a 2x8 foot shelf for the future town of "Falls Valley" which will work as a nucleus of a future railroad. It is meant to be able to offer many services and interchange with a nearby railroad. <br /> <br />I have plotted my trackwork which is a evolved Allen Timesaver and am building my structures. I have taken the square footage and broken it down to each of the buildings and space needed for the sidings. <br /> <br />I have about 1 by 2 feet remaining that does not have something on paper. I would like to try to finish it with a sawmill 6 inches wide by 18 inches including siding for lumber. If I was to do this I worry that I will have to rearrange the track. <br /> <br />As I thought about it why not borrow another 6 inches and go from 24" wide to 30" wide. I think I can reach 30" but it is pushing it. Should I keep the 24" width and sacrifice the sawmill for a future expansion?
