The hardest thing to do is start. You got that out of the way. Looks like it is going to be a layout with a lot of train action. Watching for more post of the building...............Paul
Is that two rows of wall switches lower on the platform? What will they control?
Great start, but I am not sure what we are seeing here. Are you building a covered layout?

Looks like it might be a bit of a s-t-r-e-t-c-h to reach track #6 on the lower lever.
Melvin P,
Great Garage multi-Level layout design, not sure if you are running from one level to another with your trains or not, with your engineering it looks as if it could be done. If not you might consider a little more space between the levels to view your trains a little better.
I like the Conventional Tin Plate Track and old 072 type switches, looks like it could be a great Tin Plate Train running layout for sure! Keep a close eye on your RealTrax Switches!

There is a access hole to reach the rear tracks.

Hi Rod, the lower level is finished. It will be a locomotive storage area only. The upper level will be the operating, scenic level. There will be a connecting track between the two levels.

Hi Dave, Lower level will be locomotive storage, not really for operating. There will be a connecting track between lower and upper levels.

Hi Paul, as things progress I will post.

Hi Tom, the wall switches control power to the various storage tracks on the lower level. The upper row of toggle switches control the track switches.
Well, today I got the layout braced, steady as a battleship. I see plywood coming this weekend
I think you need a brewery.
Oh wait ...

I see that you located the most important building. LOL
