Very impressive well researched drawing is professional quality. The layout will offer hours of operations a true credit to the world’s greatest hobby.
I'm trying it
If I had that much room I would have gone to HO. This is way to elaborate for me.
Hi!!!!.-
The tended it seems to me a rather extensive for N scale, although in general i like.- As a suggestion, would add another manoeuvring area, as well taking advantage of the space.- Sergio Ottonello
Wow! If I only had the space.
It looks to be overcomplicated. Overdone to my thinking.
