Guys guys guys, This is my fourth layout for me. I have done a 6 x 4, an 8 x 4, and two 8 x 4s back to back (16 x 4)... This is just the first layout that goes beyond what I already know, like wiring and major track laying. The older layouts I used 18 and 15 radius track and didn't require all that much wiring to do. I have spoke to Ed on the board here, and we are kinda emailing back and forth. We have come up with the idea to do a staged layout. That is, build the first stage, and be able to run trains while working on the next stage and so on... He is also helping me with my track design. I had the design all fouled up. You couldnt get to a derailment on the other side of the board, and there were no access points other than reaching across. Well, in some areas you couldnt reach over 12 feet. LOL! This was never a problem before, because I could simply walk around the 8 x 4 layouts, and even the 16 x 4 layout. I appreciate all your thoughts and concerns, but I just wanted to tell you it is not my first layout. I do not plan to build this one overnight either. I know its going to be several months, if not a year or so, before this one is complete. Thanks again. -Wolv33
