So he wants to cut down the depth of his layout. At the same time he also still wants a spread out and sparse track plan - longish run, more space between more or less parallel tracks - and preferably no more than a 3 tracks between aisle and backdrop at any point. And he wants more foreground scenery again - in the form of bump-out industries. Which again works out to a track plan which still has a relatively high scenery to track ratio.
That's exactly what I meant Stein,
Building new benchwork would be no trouble at all, I would simply need to cut it out and put it on top of the existing supports.
As always, I appreciate the help
