Wow, Justin. Nice work. I like your track plan.
Your benchwork does appear to be constructed in a fashion very similar to mine. Initially I had planned on using the 24" doors as well, but when you enter the guest room where my layout is that would protrude too far into the room. However, now that I'm working on the 16" doors I am finding a few areas (namely around my engine house) where an additional 6 to 8 inches would have helped with some scenery and track arrangements.
In retrospect, I wish I would have constructed the long leg of my "L" using the wider doors, and made only the short leg from the narrow 16", but I never thought to make the two legs different widths!
