I am in the process of designing my new layout and I have my Great Lakes Car Ferry that I want somewhere to display on the layout. The issue is it is 4 feet long! I had a perfect spot in the back to make it look like it was docked in the harbor, until I was looking at track plans.
I think this car ferry is holding me back. I am really making the layout for my kids and want to have an interesting track plan to hold their interests . I also do not want just a few loops of track. So as much as I hate to do it I think I might need to omit the car ferry from the layout.
It takes up a ton of real-estate, I would like to have a hill/mountain near the back of the layout, that would block it from view, and I also do not want it right up front where little fingers can damage it.
What do you think I should do?
