Ha! You guys were posting while I was typing -- that's about as real-time as it gets :) Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. Let me try to answer: <br /> <br />-- Ack, you're both right about that little tail off of the spur in the right-center. That ought to be deleted. <br /> <br />-- Chip, you said "The other is where you connect the inner main run to the spur coming up from the bottom. It's just a maneuver that I don't think any train would make". I don't understand -- would you mind trying that again? Are you talking about that straight run of track across the very bottom? <br /> <br />As far as space, it's probably either a 4x8 or 2 doors in an L-shape, but that'll be a harder sell to the wife. Unless I get kicked out to the garage, in which case I have all the room in the world... <br /> <br />I'm trying to keep to something that has some continuous run capability. I'd be happy with a 2' deep switcher layout, but my son & granddaughter are going to want trains going in circles. :) <br /> <br />thanks much, <br />dave.
