ok. how about just cutting a small hole in the wall like trains going thru a tunnel then you could put staging in another room to hold all your equipment and have the room you have planned all for scenery and industries...

exactly, i find its better to just suck it up and do it when the wife is gone shopping or working and add on or knock a hole thru the wall, then when she comes home she doesnt really notice then, but when she does its like (what, this hole was here for awhile now and you didnt say anything) haha

My layout progressively got bigger when my old lady was gone working, and she doesnt always come down in the basement, then one day after i added on another 10 feet she was like beep beep what in the world are you doing down here.... and you guys know the rest, of what they would usually say

I got her mind on the money i spent at train show yesterday so she done forgot about the wall

Sounds like you might be heading to a corn field meet with the wife over your layout expansions. It may seem like each individual point is a past issue, but its not. It will all be brought up again, someday.

if you have a i-phone you can post pictures easy.. i post with my droid.

Setup a free photobucket account. On your i-phone you should easily be able to upload the pictures to your photobucket account. From your photobucket account you can easily upload pictures from photobucket to this forum...

Come on man, we all love pictures
