    New train room - need ideas!

    WOW. That would be cool... Only problem is that I'd have to raise the layout to at least 65" to clear the water softner. Does anyone else have their layout up that high?

    New train room - need ideas!

    I've decided on this. I will leave enough room around the 4 x 8 table to walk around and back to the salt tank area. I also plan to keep the center section semi-removeable just in case. If I do move the tanks over next to the water heater, I'll just add on to the 4 x 8, lose the center, and...

The options I am considering are making a lift out section to cover the area, or the more drastic one of moving the water softner and well pump next to...

    New train room - need ideas!

    Hi all, Here is a drawing of the room I have to work with. I'm looking for ideas on where to place my benchwork. This will be for an HO layout and I'm leaning towards a mining or logging industry. I don't have a track plan in mind yet. I want to see what kind of benchwork I can fit in...
