Probably another crossover on the other side of the line would be easier though.

I hope not too many people were injured trying to get these aerial shots!
I'm not posting pictures because I can't get high enough/far enough away to get more than about 20% in any given shot -- not that the layout's that big (it's 8' x 20' with a 2' x 7' staging yard entension), it's the room that's too small!

Here is an aerial shot of my club's layout in which we are in the October issue of RMC.
Bill Carl (modeling Chessie and predecessors from 1973-1983) Member of Four County Society of Model Engineers NCE DCC Master Visit the FCSME at www.FCSME.org Modular railroading at its best! If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!
That's funny about the ceiling fans. I was up on a ladder taking a picture for this thread and got whacked on the head too. Apparently us model railroaders aren't too good with situational awareness.
Bill, that's not a layout, that's an empire. Does that whole building belong to the club? How many members do you have? Just from what I can see in the picture, the layout looks exceptionally well detailed for a club layout.
If only my garage was this big!

This was one of four gyms! Only one big European layout in this hall.

You need to sit down with your dad and have a serious talk. For a layout under construction that room is w-a-a-a-y too clean.

Hi Mike,
have been to your club layout a number of times. It looks like everybody worked quite hard on finishing some more scenery. Really like the layout, the detail and the people. Looking forward to the open house on November 11, 2007. Learn something new every time I go there.
Glad you put your web site http://www.yorkrailwaymodellers.info/ into your reply in this thread.
