Island layouts

[steinjr]

How to fit a layout into this nightmare of a layout room. :?

It would be hard to beat the suggestion Charlie made back in March - a 2.5 by 6.5 foot table pushed all the way into the corner between the closet and the rightmost wall of the room, joined in a sort of L shape with a 5x7 foot table located sort of in the middle of the room, far enough away from the closet doors to give access to the closet (and to give access to the right side of the 5x7 table and upper side of the 2.5x6.5 table)

Rounded corners of tables where a sharp corner would hurt to run into.

Scenic divider from upper left hand corner of 5x7 table down to middle of rightmost 2.5 x 6.5 foot table. One layout scene on the rightmost 2.5 x 6.5 foot table, one scene in lower left hand corner of 5x7 table, one scene in upper right hand corner of 5x7 table.

Hmmm - wait - do the math actually add up here ? Your sketch doesn't start the room height at 0 - it starts at 1 foot. Let me do a little testing of the math.

Okay - something along these lines - rightmost table is 2 x 7 feet, leftmost 5 x 5 feet - feel free to adjust it in any direction that seems sensible to you with regard to aisles and reaches.




Possibly two or three staging tracks on a narrow shelf down along the rightmost wall, to the right of the door - six 40' cars only take about 18" of space in N scale.

There isn't a lot of other ways to do a sensible table setup in this room.
