Input on proposed HO switching layout

[steinjr]

Hmmm - track plan looks very attractive, but it is possible that a different emplacement of the layout in the room would give you the same amount of layout area, with less use of floor space. As described, you are essentially getting a 2 x 17 foot shelf layout (with a 4 x 3 foot triangular area at the left end), while using at least 8 x 24 feet of floor space. Or put another way - only 20% of your floor footprint is used for the actual layout.

Any change of putting the layout on an 18-24" deep shelf on one (or more) of the walls of the room, maybe above your work desk and storage area? It may make she who must be obeyed even more happy :-)
