actually, your right, I forgot about reaches...

however the great part about my room is that the top right corner and lower left are both adjacent to doorways. so I do have access to both sides. This is especially important in the top right section.

I'm avg build, but my lil step stool has given me enough reach to get anywhere on the layout as it, and so far I've had no problems reaching everything. The benchwork is pretty much the same, aside from the loop on the right, and the added triangle of benchwork on the lower left... (which I'm a lil scared about for room access as thats the main door way duck under!)


As for the over/unders on the layout itself... the tracks that run North of the terminal are acending, so that first meeting on the left side of the layout is the trakcs comming from the top left are elevated. I plan on using a pair of Walthers Double Track Truss bridges here... or maybe just one once I start construction..but we will see.

The crossing over on the right side of the layout is a bit more complicated. The rails running from the lower corner to the inside of the benchwork will elevate at a grade, while the tracks going under it will burrow... kinda like an overpass.

Both these scenarios should do a good job of keeping the high lines in the back of the layout... the only time that will be affected is on the left side of the layout. I'll know more once I get the track plan onto the benchwork.
