Something I am learning as I go. May be helpful to others building layouts. <br /> <br />My new layout is 40"high. When operating it, I usually sit on a bar stool. On a section that is some what complete, I have some tall buildings in the foreground and other somewhat tall industries in one of the yards where there is quite a bit of switches and uncoupling. I have to stand and in most cases look over buildings or around buildings to see what is going on, especially uncoupling. Makes it a little hard to line up cars to be uncoupled etc. <br /> <br />So I am now rethinking the placement of some tall buildings and industries to the back of the yards, away from the front of the layout so that I can see the trains better when working the yard and have lower building etc towards the front of the layout. <br /> <br />Anyone else come accross this problem, or situation? <br /> <br />Any thoughts on this? <br /> <br />Thanks, DON
