What is the height of your layout?

Good point. The layout that I trashed was on a hinged door so that I could get to the wiring without going underneath. That way I was able to put in some drawers and shelves. This time I won't have that luxury and I doubt that my body will stand for my using a creeper to get to the wiring. Nope The minimum clearance that I'd need if I were sitting on the floor would be 36", so maybe 42" will allow me the pleasure of using a pillow. Big Grin Height-wise, anything over 42-44" would be a struggle for me to reach anything without something else getting in my way and breaking it. Eek

It's interesting though, what height each person has their layout at, and the reason why. The physical limitations of the individual, the constraints of where the layout is, and sometimes the esthetics of how the modeler wants their layout to appear. Then there are those that run sessions and I guess they have their own set of rules to adhere to, which is also a good reason for how they do things.
As Charlie says, age has a real bearing on how and what someone models and how they arrange their layouts. Cheers
