Hey guys I have decided last night that I am going to stretch my layout out about thre more feet for a longer run and most importantly more room inside of the layout for more than just me. It was a tight squeeze in a cuple of areas that were right next to a pipe or the furnace or hot water boiler. I have resolved that with two steps. I removed the botls on two side of the layout and stretched it out about three more fet. It is so roomy in there now. I have to now fill in the gaps with benchwork and track which is cool for a longer straight track. On the outter side I will be adding a new bridge for easier access than the last bridge whihc just recently started giving me problems so that will need to be addressed soon. Not too hard though. Well here are a few pictures of the layout before and after. Notice the room inside. nOTICE THAT POLE ABOUT 10-12 INCHES AWAY FROM THE BENCHWORK this is the before of course. And also how close the water heater is too. [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/ajt.jpg [/img] Notice the distance now its about three feet away now. I was able for the first time to get a full shot of that area because the chimney is no longer in my way.

I may remove that river section entirely and do that over differently I have not yet decided [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aoh.jpg [/img] Notice how close the cornerwas to the Furnace and that Container thingy on the pipe. I had to squeeze between there to get to that side. Not anymore though. Any ideas on what to do to fill in my gaps now? Let em hear them [img]http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aju.jpg[/img]
