Like many people, I have partially built and torn down several layout attempts over the years after finding the plan I did on paper didn't work too well in reality. I finally read a book on layout planning so I think I may actually have curves in my plan that will fit into my space and not derail everything that runs over them. Since I want to fit a lot into my relatively small 8' x 16' space, I want to do a double deck layout with a "no-lix" which will essentially take the trains from one level to the other with a constant slight grade. <br /> <br />My question relates to scenes. I was thinking that in order to get a good variety of scenes in the layout (city, industrial,suburban,rural), each scene could be somewhat small, with the trains leaving a scene via tunnel, ducking behind buildings, going into a stand of trees, and other such disappearing acts. The scenes would be divided by some type of barrier and the scene on one side of the barrier would be different than the scene on the other side. Has anyone ever tried this or seen anything like this? Any suggestions on the best type of barrier to use? Thanks for any help.
