My available space is a 6 by 7 foot rectangle. I am modeling in HO gauge and am planning a continous double loop mainline with a double crossover and two industrial sidings. I decided to build a mounted around the wall L-girder 18 inch shelf with a duck under along the room side of my layout. I have completed the benchwork, but believe that the duck under will deter me from developing my layout (sore knees and one bumped head already). I have purchased "How to Build Model Railroad Benchwork", "Practical Guide to HO Model Railroading", and The abc's of Model Railroading". They all say to avoid duck unders, but provide no directions, plans or alternatives on avoiding them. I am seeking direction/advice on how to build a bridge/gate yet maintainin track alignment and how to wire it. I am planning to go DCC. I have made a cardboard template of my proposed layout and it looks like an 18 inch shelf will not be wide enough for my plans or provide adequate work space in the middle of the layout (no I am not overweight). Any direction, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and efforts. Rudy [:)] [:)]
