Is this a layout?

Progress? I thought I'd give you a chance to catch up a bit... you know, add some actual track and stuff to your collection of sticks.

Besides, I'm drawing up plans for the major scenic element that will tie the whole thing together.

Drawing up plans for the Christmas tree???

I have a good portion of the lower level track installed and should be able to put power to the rails this evening and actually run something....

then its on to the top deck.

Mr. Gibson and I will toast my success once the first train runs and then I will drink a toast to each spike and rail joiner I install as well

Yes I know the shop is a bit of a mess but in my defense I am reasonably certain its neater than yours
