<p>Thanks for the input, I'm not concerned with the 5' table because of the walkaround on both sides. Since the outside of the oval track portion is near the edges of the layout, and the mountains are about 1/3 of the layout, I think I'll be ok.</p><p>A shelf layout? I'll admit, from what I've read about it I thought they were primarily used for narrow operational layouts and not oval runs... I'd definitely be concerned about the width of the table if I butted it up against the wall on a long edge.</p><p>Just finished the temporary track layout, and it all runs! Yay for a first try at flex-track laying with sectional. Something struck me when I was admiring the train run around the bare layout: adding the 9" sections in the curves has led to a slightly strange train movement... It's basically 3 18" curves then a straight track then curves again. It appears kind of 'stilted' in the turns and I wonder if everyone usually avoids doing this?</p>
