I'm interested in following this as well, as I've considered various shelf layouts recently. Looking forward to your progress! R.
Looks great Josh! I wish I had half your talent and energy. (I know I said that before) Can't wait to see more.

I need more real estate, which requires monies i don't have, lol. even if i did get some more money, i'd probably end up buying some obscure and ridiculous expensive commuter cars, lol.
thats cool. When are you going to start mounting it all down and putting it together?
Thanks Robert, Layout is going pretty slow right no but hope to pick up the progress :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I don't know why you think you need any walking space. If you have your layout, you can just sit in the middle and enjoy. Also, if you get rid of the bed and other unnecessary furniture, you will have room for a second level below.
LMAO Josh, I have 6 rolls on hand lol so that will get me by for a little while :mrgreen:
hahahaha i wish i could do that
thanks Packerz!!
I have some more updates:
I got the Box of Flex-track FINALLY!!!!
I also got 6 3% incline riser sets, 20 Manual Switch Machines (10 left, 10 right) some rail joiners, 4 rolls of WS roadbed

Now for some more Stagging progress
i had to rip all the tracks out almost that i had already glued down because the grade up needed room. I didnt think about the brackets on the wall. my original plan was to run the grade against the wall but i hadnt thought about the brackets being in the way for the main level. All well lol
Heres some pics. Im only going to have one track going up to main level to save room for more stagging in the yard. At the end of the yard, i will cut out "tunnels" for the tracks on the stagging yard so i dont loose all that room when the incline makes the turn at the end of the wall and loops back on itself to continue up to the main level.
The gap between blinds and riser is where the supports for main level will come down onto the stagging level for added support for main level
