A friend of mine just got a new layout room with a house above it. He told me that the area was 15 feet by 18 feet. I then saw a thread started by Chris Gilbert in RM Web back on April 26, 2012 called "Help Needed." as well as Roundhouse's Ft. Myers thread and decided to empty my layouts folder again and share some ideas. I figure that I would operate the layout as a switcher stationed on the layout while transfer runs come in from staging.

Each staging track holds 4 cars and a loco.
