    Looks very different Paul. I guess it means a duck under for access. What height from the floor would this be?

    You might gain some duck under clearence with a trestle bridge spanning connecting the upper levels and making the alley look like you are coming in via the creek...and I am sure that film could easiley be built along with that!!!

    Looks good Paul. I like the continious run and you still have lots of loging spurs. The 4 bridges at the top will look real good, sort of John Allenish :D I would build it at least 60 inches high at the lowest leval. Makes it a lot eaiser to get into. Mine also runs arround the walls with a duckunder but its more like 65 inches off the floor. Makes for great viewing....Mike

    Knowing your talent Paul, I know whatever you build or modify will be excellent. I am not a fan of duck unders, but if it works for you, that's great.

    Excellent plan Paul. If you go with the duck-under section, I would put it on hinges and make it a fold up. This way you do not actually have to duck under. Just 2 cents from someone with an aching back :D

    Lift out or hinged section is a good idea. Looking forward to seeing this one in MR Paul [​IMG]

    The only thing you might want to try to fit in would be a couple staging tracks, just so you can have a place to store a couple extra trains to run when you're too tired to watch anything else. After you tackle this project, that may not take to long! :D Seriously, this plan looks nice. Good luck, Paul!
