Thanks. I've spent the last few evenings figuring the placement of it in relation to the future enginehouse:
If I place the turntable here I can put the enginehouse offset in the back (that's the footprint of the foundation) I know it's unconventional to use an enginehoue with a turntable but I have a great Juneco enginehouse kit that I want to use. The enginehouse is two stalls plus a 'car shop' lean-to. I had thought of using a couple turnouts for the enginehouse tracks but I can potentialy add a few more tracks off the turntable beside the three for the enginehouse.
I've measured out the benchwork underneath and the adapter place misses almost all the crossbraces, except one:
And of course it would be one that I threaded my DCC bus through. The good news is that I won't be compromising any structural integrity of the layout by removing the brace, and all the screws are easily accesable. The bad news is that I need to relocate that wiring a bit.
