    Catskill Valley Railroad

    This is my layout plan, please post what you think. The two arrows go to a 10 x 10 room with 12 track staging. Please let me know what I should get rid of or put in. All comments are welcome. I know it is poor quality but you should get the idea and objective of the layout.
