For this, meaning, for a yard with features.

 

Thanks.

Hi have a 9x9 design in mind inspired by a u-shaped 10'6"x10'6" table that utilized to 4x8's connected in a u and the MR Cripple Creek Project.

My space is a bit smaller but I would like to go with the U.  One side will be 9x4 with an aisle in the middle.  The other side with be 8'x2'6" (or could be 3').  I have it 9x9 so the foot behind the backdrop could be staging.  on the short side I would like to have a yard with some features like a scale and scale house, yard office (old caboose), sanding unit, some repair shops, and RIP track with some wheel storage.

Do you think the 7'x2'6" is big enough for this?

I have a drawing, rough draft, PDF.  Not sure how to attach.

-Ron
