New here just thought I would share my layout here I am rapidly outgrowing my allowed space in the house. The Mrs.CP and kids want to have a Garage sale in a few weeks and I have been thinking a lot about moving the layout to the garage to have more space and a better place to make my mess. I think if I take the legs off the layout I can get it out to the garage. It is L shaper 8 x 8 across the back. If I get rid of most of the junk in the Garage I should be able to use 2/3 of the 2 car. I am thinking I will just build off of the "L" table in both directions. Or maybe rip it all apart and kinda start over. Can I un solder the track and re use it? I am sure I am not the first to out grow their layout area.I figure I should make the move before It grows into something that can't be moved.At first it seemed like I could fit a lot in the space I had. Now it looks like both ends are being consumed by mountains! So many more ideas and Industries I would like to model but its not going to happen on my L shape. I did a little research on Layout plans but I think I like the idea of just building and seeing what happens. Well maybe I should have a little bit of a plan. I am thinking Helix at both ends to avoid a Island in the middle. I like having a "mainline" it can run around with a few areas for staging/switching.
Looking good! Keep the progress photos coming! Always fun to follow along as a layout grows and the scenery takes shape. Looks like your off to a good start.
Welcome to TrainBoard! Do you by chance have a layout plan drawn up? If so, it would be nice to see, as we could get a better overall view of what you are constructing. Boxcab E50
