I'm really excited about the new layout space (I.E. my basement. I'm playing with the room layout, and bench work designs as well as track plans and wow... it's oddly shaped and weird to work with compared to the linear space I was working in before (Garage) but it provides so much more space and possibilities. I'm gonna be playing with ideas for weeks. I already have a float yard and engine facility "sketched" out, and I'm really pleased with it thus far. Need to play with industries next. Going to be a couple of peninsulas, which is going to increase usable space so much. I may devide the peninsula down the milddle with a backdrop, letting me switch more industries that are against a back drop and "imaginary" rather than having a lot of buildings free standing.
Let's face it, I'm really more interested in switching than in modeling structures, and frankly for me, at least right now in my modeling careere, I'm more happy to have a siding to services a back drop industry rather than taking up space with buildings. I will have several free standing industires but I think most of the indsutries will be in backdrop. At the very least I'm going to play with both ideas and see how they work out.
It might even be possible by breaking up sight lines, and with the expanded layout to add a 3rd operator.
I really like the potential of all this. I'm even more excited than I was when I committed to starting this project.
