My plan is to have the upper level at 72 inches from the floor and he lower level something arounf 44 to 48 inches. I anticipate having eight classification tracks and two additional tracks to emulate he main line running by the yard so the classification area will be about ten tracks wide. If the first track is eight inches from the wall, then the upper deck has to be about 30 inches wide minimum measured from the wall. Then I have to create a step up for operators which is no big deal but I want to make sure I have the numbers right. What does you experience tell you about the ten inch figure for planning? Am I being realistic or too generous?
