Layout is 10x20 around the walls, with room for six 12 or more car trains in staging.

For the most part, being  mid-late 60s era, the diesels and the freight cars stay on the layout. Steam can take turns being in the roundhouse or in boxes, I run them when I just wanna watch them.Smile  Dan

I'm still working on scenery on a few parts of the layout, so when it's a scenery day, I usually pull most of the locomotives and rolling stock off of the layout so they don't get dust in the moving parts.
