How deep is this part of your layout? What is the length between the first switch and the last building?

Daniel,
The layout is 22" in depth. It started out as 18" deep hollow core bifold doors, but I realized that it was not nearly deep enough for I wanted to do. I purchased birch strip wood and build the edge to 22-23". The fasica is nothing more that floor baseboard mitered and painted similar to Lance Mindheim's.
The distance from the turnout to the last structure is close to eight feet, but I can check on this tonight and let you know the exact distance if you like. The entire wall length is twenty feet.
I have purchased additional track to complete the left hand curve near the Padnos structure and will be working on that this weekend.
I have also completed the artwork and decals for the Island Cargo Systems structure. What struck me about this building is the fact that situated between loading docks is a ramp that allows vehicles to enter the warehouse.
