I'm considering extending the Brooklyn & Greenville with a switching area in the form of the Bay Ridge Branch. It would connect to the Bush Terninal section of the layout via the hidden staging/interchange. It'll add up to 25 extra feet of switching operation. Im going to try to keep the width under 18 inches and will be secure to the wall with shelf brackets to keep the floor area underneath clean and neat. Trains will get access to the branch through the wall from staging. I figure it'll be operated by the B&G but when I run NYNJ Rail amd NY Cross Harbor engines the branch will be operated by New York & Atlantic and LIRR. I was able to purchase 2 Atlas NY&A gp38-2s and will add some better prototypical details to them. Also when I get the itch to operate my CSX and Conrail engines I can run them without looking completely out of place.
