Hello.
Recently moved to a "new to us" home, and I have been granted a "wing" of the basement (in other words.. "please try to contain your paperwork, hobbies, reloading supplies, mess, etc. to this part of the house"). I have a full bath, an office, and a train / reloading room that is 22' x 11.5', along with a posted "No Girls Allowed" sign in the hallway. <grin>
I would like a "round the room layout" with a little bit of room for my workbench by the door. (I apologize for the picture below; I now use a mac and can't use my old version of RR-Track.) I like seeing trains run; I am no modeler, so realism is unlikely. I have one MTH Challenger (requires 72") that used to be run on the carpet, but hasn't been out of the box in almost seven years. I would like to run it if possible. I also have some smaller steam engines and one Atlas diesel.
I currently have an unfinished layout on a 4x8 board that I started 20 years ago this month (where does the time go?!). That is being scrapped. I just want to run trains!
Can anyone offer some design ideas? Thanks!
22' x 11.5'
