    I'm gonna guess her eye level is about 50", but what do I know. I've only been married to her 21 yrs! :sleeping: LOL! Typical guy that I am. I'm not sure I agree that the layout should be 'actual eye level' tho. Shouldn't it be about chest level so one can kinda look a little downward in order...

    Hopefully this one is a bit more clear. The 4" strip from table X to table W is not a worry cuz I plan on tunneling thru the 36X36 corner wall as shown by the drawn line. as mocked up: Y is the tallest table at 54". Z is about 50". X is about 40" and W is about 46". All tracks can be...

    Water heater access will be done from under the bench at Y which is why it needed to be so high right there. I mocked it up this morn and the access works fine. I can even R&R the tank if ever needed without tearing out the track. It's only a 50" high tank with no fittings on top. The reason I...

    Back home now. Put on my tape measure & thinking cap and redrew the plan. The 'round the room' plan just won't work unless I put the track on plexiglass so I can see it from below. I moved the couch. I discovered I can lower the water heater access door to 51", so at Y, track elevation will...

    Here's the room. The window goes nearly to the ceiling. The water heater access needs about 24" clearance and also goes almost to the ceiling. Then the breaker box adds more annoyances. I really like Tileguy's design, but stuff gets kinda complicated around that water heater/fuse box access...

    Thanx alot you'all for taking the time to input suggestions. :thumb:I'm on the road this weeknd, but when I get back, I'll draw out the whole room. The table framework is built as shown, but if it's not gonna work (and I can now see the 4 foot reach is a bit much) it can certainly be redone as...

    The two interconnecting squares are the table, (already built) so the reach is 4 feet to the walls. Is that too much? I figured I'd need about 20" radius turns, so that don't leave much extra space on a 48" wide table. Sorry, my computer drawing capability is pretty limited here so it may not...

    for an unusual table shape. First of all, Howdy all! (since I didn't see an intro thread) Been lurking, reading & studying for a little while here. Since I have no train background, I'm trying to learn layout functionality, so I'm gonna leave this to you'all with only a few parameters. HO...
