Well, finally I have finished building the layout room in the addition to my house. It is 19'x19', most of which will be available layout space. I want to include a work desk as well as storage beneath the layout. I plan on using a shelf style set up, with one or two peninsulas. The layout will be primarily urban, and while they may carry names of popular known cities (Washington, Alexandria, Baltimore) they will be primarily free lanced to satisfy my design ideas. I hope to include some street running in the industrial part of town and an elevated line to carry traffic through downtown without interrupting the traffic on the streets.
