New Layout Space

Our offer has been accepted and, if all goes as planned, we will be moving in the second half of May. The new "train room" is 11' x 12', close to the old space, which was 11' x 13'. The completed portion of the layout, which is now dismantled into sections, is 8' x 8-1/2'. The original plan was to extend the 8-1/2' segment to 13', with a 9' section off of that, which would contain the waterfront area. The whole layout would have been a U-shaped shelf. That will change. My wife and I enjoy doing things together and she's going to have space in the train room for her sewing machine. So now the layout will be an L-shape, 8' x 12'. This will allow reassembly of the existing sections without modification. However, the width of the 12' segment will increase from 28" to 36" to allow for more structures and scenery. I will post a revised plan here very soon.
