You have probably already considered this, but in case you haven't, how about a "point-to-point" type layout? If just letting the trains run unattended is your goal, then this won't work. But if you want switching, etc. A shelf type layout would be your best bet in that space. MR had some great articles on this type of layout several years ago by Bob Smause. Check with Kalmbach back issues dept. for copies. You will be impressed with the amount of detail Bob could achieve with just 2 feet or so of depth. I know I was. Aside from the shelf layouts he did, I recall that his "big" layout was only about a 4X6 portable job that he kept in his garage. <br /> I belive that those articles came out in the mid-1990's, but don't quote me on that.... As the hair turns gray, the memory fades......... <br /> Todd C.
