 About that photo you posted: Is that the "before" shot, or the "after" shot? It would be really helpful [to me at least] seeing both versions side-by-side...

Yes, that is what I mean, the penninsula that is to the right, moving it"at an angle" catty corner, instead of it setting straight, I think that would allow me to have more isle space.

I was admiring the mock-up.  I think it gives a good idea of how the layout will work in the room.

I'd worry about physical access to the upper right corner, though, if the peninsula is moved over.  The whole idea of peninsulas is to allow aisles for access, and moving the peninsula would defeat that.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Have to agree, not sure exactly what is being discussed.  the walls of the room seem to pretty well have the layout locked in to the design shown.  Nice design.

 Crandell, I believe he means that small peninsula on the top right of the photo would be cocked catty corner in the top right hand corner instead of sticking straight down. Not sure what that would do to the track radius coming into the peninsula though. N isn't a scale I've messed around with in track planning.

I wish I could follow you to respond, but I can't figure out what you mean.  Is there any way you would rephrase the observation, or could you alter your mock-up to show what you mean?

Sorry.

mock layout by you.Hey MRRDer's, I was at work today and I had an ''''''''''''BLING"""""Big Smileidea,  How about moving the right hand penninsula at a angle to the upper right corner?that would allow more room between the two penninsulas, The trainroom is 19ft x17ft, the right penninsula is 8ft length x 4 ft width, the left penninsula is 8ft length x 2 1/2 width. I'm hoping for a 2ft wide isle between the penninsulas. It's all Nscale, tell me what you think, let me know what you think, would this work???
