Let me raise an issue or two with your plan. First, a quick look leaves me wondering how you are going to reach some of the areas on the layout. I don't see a lot of room for access hatches in some areas, and any place more than about two feet, (or, for people like me with callouses where my knuckles drag the ground when I walk, 30 inches) from the aisle is not going to be easy to reach for maintainance, fixing derailments, etc. You need to revisit that issue. Secondly, I will ditto the idea of building the layout in stages: First, get a simplified version with enough track to run trains (maybe with the addition of temporary trackage) built. Then, add more of the tracks to get to your final plan. But, this again brings up the spectre of being able to *easily reach* all parts of the layout. <br /> <br />[2c]
