    In what room is your layout located? If you have two or more layouts, choose the location for your primary layout. If you don't have a layout but are planning one and have a space already allocated for it, choose that location.

    My layout takes up 8' X 11' of the 12' X 11' family room between the kitchen and master bedroom.

    I'm using a huge basement for two small layouts. I share this room with my computer and my 3 year old daughter whose trains are on the floor under my feet. LOL

    Although my layout is presently somewhere between my imagination, and the drawing board, I voted for the basement.

    :D

    My current layout is 2'x4' in a corner of my bedroom. I'm relocating soon to my own place where I'll have it in the large living room.

    Mine is currently in the attic of the house- it's enclosed and has its own heating & air conditioning unts, and is accessible by an enclosed spiral staircase. And with temps hitting the dollar mark (100 degrees), that AC can get a workout!

    My layout is located in the basement. That means I don't do a lot of work during the middle of winter, when the basement temperatures are hovering slightly over the 40 degree mark.

    However, summer time is a wonderful time to work in the basement, when the temps are a cool and comfortable mid 60's.

    THe dehumidifier does run year round, and gets a real workout in July and August.

    Mine is in a purpose built insulated shed close to the house, with a heater for the winter time. Also has a low-power heater to keep it dry during damp weather and overnight.

    I didn't know how to answer this one, but we had a room purposely built as a study that never really got used. So I decided it would make a great train room for N scale, which it has become.

    So I voted "other."

    Hi, I'm new. [​IMG]

    My first layout was in our bedroom. Got too small , moved to the familyroom . My wife wanted her familyroom back, so when I retired in 99 we decided to build a building for RAMKO VALLEY. Check my website for the rest of the story.

    Glad to be here.

    Thanks for the heads up. Haven't done any new pics lately. Been working on the video. If I have time I think I will post some new ones on the Atlas Sunday Night photo fun tomorrow.
