I got another Idea!
I was looking through the December 1996 issue of MRR, when on page 132 I saw a layout that fit my situation perfectly, This layout is about the same size of my room, and it was built so the room could still be used as a bedroom, and guess who the layout builder was, Once again I was inspired by Lance Mindheim.
The layout featured in this article was the Ho-scale Monon Limestone Region, The layout looks great, and because the layout was built 70" above ground, the operator get the feeling of being a railfan which is one of my favorite things about model railroading. I'm pretty sure I want to use his design as a template for my own, I am thinking of building a small coal Carrier railroad similar to the Haysi railroad which was a terminal railroad for the L&N( I am pretty sure). I will post a track-plan later of what I am going to do but if anybody has the Dec 1996 issue of Mrr, pleas share your thoughts on the design.
