Being in a simiilar situation (double decked - 19 x 38 foot layout in HO) let me offer some advice. Keep your layout as shallow as possible. I have worked on many layouts that are 4 feet deep and they are a pain to scenic and a pain to work on and a pain to operate. They also take 2 1/2 times longer to finish! <br /> <br />There will be areas tha you want deeper than 1 1/2 to 2 feet, and that is OK, as long as there is a reason (large industry, yard, etc) but keep it simple. You will be happy and the layout will be less expensive, and it will end up being a better, more functional layout.
