Mining train | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I've run out of real estate on my layout and am considering building something under the benchwork. Maybe a mine with a mine train and ore cars. I might be able to find space on the current layout for a mine entrance but space is very limited there. Anyone try building below? I've thought about a subway, but that doesn't really fit with my mostly rural and suburban landscape.

I'm in the same situation. Two layouts in the basement and not much room to expand either. One layout has a lower-level yard - non-operational with tracks just used for storage. The thought of extending it beneath the main layout level has crossed my mind but I've decided that it's not feasible. Too difficult to work ten inches under the existing table.

I'm not looking forward to working under the benchwork, but I'm desperate, I guess.
