Pictures of the first view visitors get of your layout...

- Start date
As folks approach my 'layout in a shed' here is what they see,..
With the drop down bridges across that entrance door not there in the following photos, here is what they see,...a steel mill scene on one side, and a waterfront scene on the other side,...
...and a car float scene right at the front center.

You go up a set of stairs to our loft, a door was added,
through the door to the left honestly this is tidy for me lol.
this was not the first layout either it was a redo
this is often the view lol, but the centre aisle is too clean, tracks to the left are now under scenery totally hidden
this is when we changed to foam sheets for scenic terrain
from the other end, the gap to the right leads to another large loft, designated for future modelling. more wallpaper is added and sky painted later
a lot of buildings here do not actually appear on the stations here, but we’re being trialled in case we wanted then
this was earlier mostly ripped out for the foam
i normally take pictures trying to hide the fact that the layout is in a room..I’ll try to tidy up and take some lol

Rico - it is a little scary the similarities between yours and mine, seeing as how I have never seen your setup.
I will get a pic of mine tonight if I remember and post it tomorrow.

Hint when painting backgrounds, the earth has an atmosphere and it dulls perception the further away it goes, check any picture and expect a fine mist to build up on mountains the further you see.
love the clock, and the layout, the lift out area to the two doors is a clever touch, especially in the event of an emergency exit being required.

But it is there ready and waiting when time money and inclination occurs, plus you are in the important planning stage GRINS.

View when you turn around at the far end and view the lift-up gate (elaborate and heavy!)
can you show us a photo with the gate opened?
How deep are those decks?...look pretty deep??

My layout is in a bedroom, about 11 x 12' and the top of the layout is at 48", making it relatively easy to get inside or work under, also leaves plenty of storage:
Pic shows view from entrance. There is a lift out at back where the closet can be accessed.
shows more of a closeup right inside the door.
Visitors can just stand there and watch if they do not want to do the duckunder. I have a Walk a round DC system with three ports so the train can be operated easily from this location or inside the loops.
This layout is currently under construction, however fully operational. Many scenes are planned but went ahead and landscaped the whole thing for present enjoyment.
The backdrop is in planning stages. Currently I am working on refining the vision for the Sandstone quarry.
