I have been thinking about the results i got from my " Staging " and "Continuse run " polls and have decided that I must have staging but have still not made up my mind about the continuse run. I have two plans one is a folded dogbone plan drawn for me by Snake ( a frequent poster on this board ) and the other is an adaption of Ian Rice's Rouque Bluffs with a western Oklahoma theme. here are the pros. and cons. of both. <br /> <br />Dogbone- <br />Pros. <br />continuse run <br />more room for sencery <br />longer trains <br /> <br />Cons. <br /> <br />18 radi curves <br />staging must be on lower level with helix <br />leaves little room left in my bedroom <br />difficult accesse in some places <br /> <br />Shelf layout <br /> <br />pros. <br /> <br />greater realism <br />takes up less space <br />can easily be interchanged with other shelf layouts <br />easy accsesse <br />easy staging <br /> <br />cons. <br /> <br />no continuse run <br />less room for sencery <br /> <br />there are some other small problems with the dogbone layout such as backdrop heigth and window access but no real problems I can see with the shelf layout. no continuse run may not be a problem as i have never paid much attention to trains just running around. I geuss this all boils down to this : Which would be better ? Thanks ! <br />
