Ken - in my current scale On30, I´d need a minimum radius of 24" for a "U turn", which would add 4 ft. to the layout, which I don´t have. Any idea on having a continous running option would mean a change in scale (again). O scale even as narrow gauge is too big for the space I have - that I have learned the hard (and expensive) way. Next down in line would be HOn3, for which I still have that little ten-wheeler. I did some playing around with the idea I had last night. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ENDOFTHELINEHON3-4-_zps85d8f2a6.jpg" alt=" " /> This is about the maximum I could do - not looking into the cost of this venue. Benchwork will be delicate to build, but could be done. What I don´t like is, that the staging has to be limited to just a passing siding, as it will have to be permanent. The boards left and right need to be taken off and stored in the attic, when the layout is not in use. Therefore, these would remain without any scenery. The visible part of the layout are just the two boards with the station. Not yet convinced that this is a good idea.
