As if I didn't have enough to do.
As many of you know, I have moved my office into my house. As part of this process, I have to build a shelving unit in the corner for books, etc. This will have my file cabinet as well as a terrarium.
The office looks like this:
Now the purpose of this layout is to become a moving sculpture. I will not be standing over it and switching, rather I'll turn it on and letter go returning to my desk to work. I see it as a focal point for when I'm writing for my eyes to go to while my mind wanders. Kinda like a lava lamp for those of you that remember.
The layout will take up 12" of vertical space. I started with 13 inch radii and had to reduce it to get the loop back on itself to cross the window. It is notw 11.5". The window crossing is a bridge with a plywood support and riverbed 6" below. The idea is not to obstruct the view as much as possible. The staging has a door 6" wide behind the terrarium. The disconnected track is an abandoned spur and coal mine.
The location is mountains of PA, Norfolk Southern modern. I can't expect Dash-9's to run on that tight of a radius so I'm looking at Sd45-2s. I may end up with Geeps however.
