Well, after several days of contemplation. I've decided to tear out my current layout and start over. It's just too darn close to the roof. When I first built the benchwork it was working out fine. About a foot from the cieling was enough room for me to work up there. But I've been growing so fast lately I cant hardly even get up there to run trains around without having to bend my neck in some awkward position. I figure before I go any farther I should just tear it out and do it right... Lower. I want at least 3 feet of clearance to the cieling this time. That way I can operate with no problems, and so can any taller people who come to operating sessions. Im going to do things different this time too. Instead of just building benchwork and having the mains up on risers with the scenery and yards on seperate pieces of foam. This time Im going to build the benchwork then cover the whole thing with 1/2 inch blue foam. My mains wont be parrallell this time and I will probably put in some grades. Im going to build another level to it as well for staging. I never like undoing work, but the result will be much better in the long run. Im going to salvage all the track and roabed I can and just start over...
