yah it is in the middle of the room...ok thanks... i will give it a try [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ndbprr First of all 4' wide is much too wide unless it is in the center of the room becasue you can't reach that far. I am 6'5" With a 38" sleeve and can just reach 36". If you can keep it away from the walls put a scenic divider (backdrop) down the center and you have just doubled the usable railroad with a 24" reach on both sides. Curve the mainline so you have some room inside and outside the main for industries and switching. Basically look at some plans and steal what features you like from each one then doodle a lot at first. Invariably you will try to put too much track in and it won't fit so go back to the drawing board often and have fun. [/quote]
