This is the first layout I've attempted to build in almost 50 years, so I'm very rusty, and dealing with new technologies and materials that are pretty foreign to me.
This will eventually be a two-level walk-in with a helix connecting the two levels. I'm dealing with very limited space (9' X 11'), so I had to build the helix with 22" radius curve to keep the overall width of that leg to 4 feet. Everything else is 24-28" radius, so I'm limiting myself to 4-axle diesels for now.
The upper level is only built on the far wall so far. When I get most of the track laid on the lower lever, I'll build the upper level. I'm standing where the final leg will be built. Someday, I might also build a removable bridge to create a full loop on the lower level. That's a long ways off, though.
The shot of the MP15AC's is just for fun.
I'm not very thin-skinned, and I have nobody locally I can ask for opinions, so if you see me doing something terrible, please tell me. At least I'm having fun.
