Thank you, Rubin and Andy!

Rubin, I’m always glad to talk to someone who has had experience with smaller scales. You do still have a lot of HO. I sold almost my HO and N scale items and used the money towards our two daughters’ tuition; though it didn’t go very far. 😄 My layout top is 44” high, and the higher bridge is 50” high. I’m 4 inches taller than you, and this height works well for me. I know Tony Koester recommends high layouts, and would like it higher when I’m underneath it, but I don’t want to build it so high I can’t reach the back of the layout. Tony can build a mainline a mile long and have narrow shelves. I can’t in an 11x11 room. 😄

Andy, it does take some time to get it built and working right. I guess I’m blessed that I don’t have 2 or 3 times the space, or more. 😉
