MR Mar 2002 Article: Designing a layout to fit your DINKY SPACE!

My experiences mirror dacourt's. <br /> <br />Small space means you will have to accept compromises that you wouldn't in a larger space. A small space also means you can pretty much forget having long runs between switching points of interest. <br /> <br />My only available space currently is 9' 7" x 12' 10" (visible around-the-walls shelves) and a 9' 7" x 24" closet. Compromise will be the order of the day, that, and accepting some things it simply won't do and avoid frustrating myself trying. <br /> <br />Given that I'm in the same "dinky space" boat, I decided to chunk 30 years worth of love for mountain railroading and accepting what my space can do and going with that. (Early pencil doodling indicates it can possibly do it surprisingly well.) <br /> <br />However, seeing as I'm VERY early-on in the process, it remains to be seen whether or not I'm successful! <br /> <br />Andre
