A Plan
Yes this rail road has a plan! Based on LGB Sectional Track (more on that in another post), this is the layout of the ......layout.

This plan is required to layout the raised planter type thing the rail road will go into. Raising the layout will make for better viewing and be easier on my back for both set-up and maintenance. That is also the reason for the "L" shape. The narrow(ish) legs will allow me easy access to all track areas from the side lines. A couple of well placed large rocks will give a place to work from for the harder to reach areas (like the inside corner loop and sidings.
These are not the final dimensions, because once I have a site picked out I will see about using the extra track to lengthen one of both legs of this layout. I have already ruled out one yard area closer to the house. The other area I will need to measure out the trees and such to see how this will fit in place.
