Happy Thanksgiving to all.
While the house is still quiet, I went and worked on the track plan some more:
I think this is workable:
I have two lines circling the trestle and have only minor modifications to the tables (I don't know what it is, but what I built is definately not what I would call "benchwork") with a few inches added on at each end.
I managed to get a small spot for some industries under the winow, although I may elimnate one switch to open it up more for structures and scenery.
Under the industrial area, I managed a second reversing loop -- partially concealed, but the switch is accessible.
The outer line ducks under and remerges around the curve, levaing plenty of room for scenery, but still have a good amount of train presence. In this area, I am thinking of using the Electromagnetic crane for a scrap yard.
The only thing I am missing is a spot where the trains can change loops, which I would really like to do. I am going to let this sit for a while and revisit it later to see what opportunities I might have for a couple of interchanges.
This went pretty smoothly. Only casualty being I chipped a tooth extracting some pins from some old track. Chuck would be familiar with this type of mishap.
