First off, thanks for all the replies! [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock One question: How far off the ground is this shelving unit? [/quote] The shelves will be as high of the ground as necessary and attached to the wall, since I'm planning on building them myself. My best guess right now is a minimum of 48", but that can be adjusted upwards if necessary for the layout. The width will be around 18" or so overall. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by leighant Now if you can get a 28 inch wide piece on each end to make it a dogbone loop, you could build yourself a "real" railroad in N. Just my little old opinion. [/quote] Now I may be able to swing a lobe on one end for a 15-18 inch radius turnback curve, which in N scale would work out fine, but there isn't much hope of doing that on the other end unless I do some creative rearranging of the room and other things it is currently used for. With the one loop, I could at least create a few track staging area to feed a large industry branch line. I'll have to do some sketching to see how that would work out. Of course, it would still end up being an N-Scale switching layout. Any experience out there with N-Scale switching layouts? I agree with the comments that for a shelf switching layout, HO may be the best choice, but this does come from my lack of N-scale experience. Thanks and keep the opinions coming. Dave
