Good Morning. First I want to thank all members who answered my questions re: 072 curves. I finally have an area that I can build a layout that I can walk around rather than crawling under, other than running wires. I have an area of 7 wide by 16 long. I want to have a walk isle in the middle. I also want to attempt a bi level. The lower level will be industrial and have a city flavor. Like Brooklyn NY. I also want to incorporate an EL system I have from the Bridge Boss. The upper level would be country so I can run the passenger trains. I am retired and can dedicate time to this project around the "honey do" list. I have Sievers bench work from a previous layout. I have looked into Scarm and they want to update the computer and I do not want to pay for that unless I can ignored it, but it seem like I could. The PC is a windows 7. I was looking into RR-Track a CD to load and go. Any comments or suggestions of books to read would greatly be appreciated. As well as any ideas. Thanks in advance. Rich 457
