How about a couple of before pics.
Springfield PA
I never expected such helpful ideas and so fast. I wasn't ready. I haven't taken any pictures yet and just joined this Photobucket. It will take me time to get myself together. I have an N gauge layout and I do plan on just removing all the wiring, relays, and all the other stuff under the table. I have a thousand ideas on how to incorporate the Atlas and Kato layouts. I also have enough Kato to put new track on all of the other track plan. The new layout has 3 levels of 2 tracks each and no way to get from one to the other. The mountains and tunnel portals are just great. Then there is the river that runs from one side to the other. I really don't see anywhere to put buildings. I am not an out of the box kind of guy and am really looking forward to this challenge.
Again thanks for the feedback and I'll be posting pictures ASAP. I have already started disassembling my Kato layout so you will see it at this stage.
