I have been a model railhead since I was a weee lad of 4 when I got my first train set... not to date myself but that was over 36 years ago! In that time I have bought materials, built structures, helped others build layouts, worked at a hobby shop and now own a hobbyshop.... and other than a couple of switching layouts I have never built anything until now. Attached for your viewing pleasure my new layout plan.
double ended Staging below that will hold a 25+ car train.. still working through some details regarding scenery profiles and such but the basic plan should remain pretty much intact. Based very loosely on the Finger Lakes but I will back date to steam as the mood hits me and run FGLK steam.... I know it never existed but its my layout and I can do what I want The nice part is that although my railroad is freelanced in the strictest sense of the word it will have some grounding in reality.
Trackage along the back of the layout will be about 5" higher to help separate scenes.
