Before I asked my question , I sort of had 40-42" high in my mind . My On30 mini is 40" to the top of the wood frame but the foam built mesa soars to 60" . It is 36" wide but a walk around style so is easy to work on .
This new HO will be walk around but will have a 2-3 ' high masonite backdrop that will hinder doing anything from the back ( uncoupling etc) . I tried a 42" leg with a piece of scrap wood and it comes up to my navel ....didn't do the elbow trick .....but from 42" I can't reach across 30" without bending somewhat . Not a BIG deal .
Since I'm building the layout in 2 halves , I think I'll build the first 10' x 30" rectangle at 42" .....if worse comes to worse I could always cut the legs I suppose ....or lower my navel

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
