I think it is a correct assessment to say I'm a looper. I have a special needs son and watching trains go around with some switching is what he likes. I originally liked number 3 the best because it allowed the most track for the yard, but once I look at it closer, I see that it will be very tough to reach the far corner. Even though number 2 reduces the yard space, it may be the most practical for us. When I had my old layout, he really liked the drawbridge so that is very important to me and it is incorporated in all 3 plans. I can do some tweaking to number 2 as I still have still to paint the room, add some lighting, and run some additional electrical before I even begin the benchwork. Thank you for the replies and in regard to Jan's post, I don't understand your comment to place the "staging yard" below the main level of the layout and move the visible portion over top. Please elaborate.
