Someone over at the Atlas N scale forum posted that question and I thought it was a good way to see what others use or are doing for themselves when it comes to doing those marathon sessions.
I myself have my layout set about 45" from floor to railhead. Since it's only me operating the layout, I tend to take a lot of time getting the daily grind done for the customers on my RR, normal session can last 3-6 hours depending on how heavy traffic is or if the power plant has a train coming in.
For comfort I have a nice leather office chair that puts me right at eye level with the layout, since it rolls I can move from side to side and reach almost 90% of all my turnouts and uncouple cars. I have used a step-stool type chair that puts me just a little higher but it doesn't seem as comfortable. I don't have a walk around throttle, but instead use an MRC Tech V 280 dual cab throttle. I plan on getting the MRC Prodigy Advanced DCC unit very soon, so maybe I will want to stand more?
What are others doing, what have you found to be good to use or not the way to do it?
