Ive been able to aquire more room recently, and work has slowed down a bit.
So heres whats rolling around in my half empty head, I want to run a double shelf style layout around the walls, 9x9.5. Im going to have the tracks that run up against the walls handle the transition between the top and bottom levels. The Top will be fully scenic'd and the bottom is going to be mainly staging, but I want to be able to expand and finish that level as time and $$$ allow.
My question (for now) is simple, how much space between the shelves? I was think 18 to 20 inches, is this too much? To little? at a 4% grade, with the length of the walls It'll have to go around one time before it gets to either the top or bottom layer (have I confused you yet?), I think this is managable and do able.
My track plan is still bein ironed out.. and its done by hand, so I cant show you, Ya'll will have to wait till construction starts I suppose. Its going to have a small 'city' switching area, a intermodal pig yard and auto rack loading (two very local industries with which i get to visit daily!) and of course staging on the bottom for now
Thanks for the input!!
