Thank you Jeff and Bill.
Jeff, is this the view you are looking for?
I agree about the operating accessories, they don’t fit here either.
I agree with you both it would be neat. The switch that would be moved is 13-1/2” long. The straight section on the other side of the bridge is 5” long. That leaves 8-1/2” to move the upper loop back track. It would fit with little clearance, but overhang would be in the open window except one spot. I would actually have better clearance to reach the switch under the track. I am still thinking of moving the town to the upper level with a lift out section.
Incidentally, I have been painting the station chimney as well.
