It is looking good. I read the thread all over and agree on your current route. We tend to add things to a layout that will be trouble later on and we tend to make things a little too packed with buildings and details. Streets and roads do eat space and having normal long rigs of the day need some space to be able to keep the competition with the railroad. I am now plnning on a layout and all these transformations, your Eye on things have been very helpful. I have even downloaded loads of photos to keep an eye on chenges and they have become a very valuable source for my current planning. I am still dealing with a track plan though I have started with the process of building kits and even bought the Engines I plan to use on it ( 4 Atlas GP38.s in UP paint) and it will be fun project. In my dreams I am thinking of a urban layout with loads of buldings, some high but I gueess keeping things more manageble will help it to be realized in 3d than as a brain storm. I have loads of six axle engines but will stick with the Geeps or some smaller units to keep them looking good on tighter curves I have to deal with. Thanks for sharing!
