Layout dimensions of 14 ft by 18 ft. Over the years I have upgraded to CAB-2 system and last year added the MTH DCS, but never have made any changes to the layout or scenery.  After twenty years I have decided to make some changes to improve operations a storage on the layout, with a small extension and some track revisions. Follow along and see my progress.
