It's not that hard, but it is around a tight hallway, through the kitchen, and up the stairs. Plus we have one toddler gate between that tight hall and the kitchen to keep the little one out of the pantry and laundry room, and another toddler gate at the base of the stairs.
A real milestone will be when the layout doesn't have to be taken off the shelves for any reason. For now it's useful to be able to take the segments down while the major surgery is taking place.
I'll need to put each side of the room in place in order to build the bridge segments between them, but I plan on laying track up to Pinto on the one side and laying the staging tracks on the other. These are the furthest in from the front edge. Then when the bridge sections are in I can lay track on the bridge segment along the middle wall beneath the window and operate from staging to Pinto and back.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
