I was playing around with some lumber in the garage tonight. <br /> <br />I'm 5'9", and I think I'd like my next layout to be pretty high - about 55" - just a few inches under my chin. <br /> <br />How high do you like your layout? <br /> <br />As a kid, I used to bend down to let the train go right in front of my nose. At 31, bending over for more than a few seconds quickly becomes irritating! <br /> <br />With a higher layout, it will also better lend itself to having storage underneath. <br /> <br />By the way, how the heck do people do double-decker layouts. It seems the upper level has to be super high, and the lower level has to be super low. The benchwork would also have to be extremely narrow to be able to view the entire lower level. (Yes, I know, the mushroom concept takes care of this...).
