Thanks for the reply Greg!
The two lift-out sections will store on the shelving unit under the main portion of the layout - see last photo in my original post.
The shorter 12" wide section is for the end of the staging yard so it won't have much else but track on it. As for the other 18" wide section, I may lower the shelving level to accommodate buildings and scenery. As for a track plan, for now I'm looking at a composite of some of Lance Mindheim's track plans. Nothing complicated like switching puzzles or switchbacks. Try to keep it simple while keeping it interesting... But I will have a tentative plan before I start laying any track. And I'm sure I'll have to make some adjustments as I start putting some structures in place.
Thanks again for looking & commenting!
