...the Ocali Creek Railway (and possibly the Big Tujunga Lumber Company and a connection to the VGN Ry).
In one picture you will see two doors. The door to the left is the door into the house and on the right leads to the side yard. In between these doors, currently (these pics were taken back on the 19th and much stuff has been moved in since) reside a large shelving unit and freezer. To the right of the right side door is currently the previous owners junk that she left here :curse: but will eventually be a workdesk (not a workbench, since it's more a desk than a bench, really). Air rights above the desk are available, but take into consideration the electric panel access and cable access. These can be seen in the second picture, showing the shelving unit built in place. This monstrosity was not built by me, but whoever built it used a ping pong table, cut into 4 sections. SO, from the garage door to the cable access is 10'. From the wall to the garage door is about 26 inches.
This side of the garage is mine. The hot water heater and heat pump/AC is on the other side along with three more gorilla racks, my craftsman tool cabinet, and eventually the family car, once our stuff is sorted and unpacked, etc. I have given myself 8-9' from the garage wall on 'my' side out into the center of the room and from the garage door inward about 12-15'.
I have constructed a 5'x14" Timesaver module that I'd like to incorporate somehow. I consider access along the garage door a good thing, kinda like Bob Smaus, where his staging is fully accessible if/when the garage door is up. So planning layout all the way to the within 6" or so of the door is fine. Also, there needs to be an 'aisle' down the center of the room beneath the garage door opener where passengers will get in and out of the family car.
(Picture carrying a two year old along side Daddy's layout to put him in the car...do I really want that Alexander Coaling tower back in pieces again? 'Cause I'm sure he'd help me get it there if I needed it to be, as he grabs it, a few trees and little people along with that Jordan Miniature's truck I spent hours on, trying to get the headlights to stay on and inadvertantly drops them on the concrete floor or carrys them with him into his carseat.)
I'd love to access the layout from this side, but you may see the potential problem here.
SO, have at it. I don't have the all-in-one printer/scanner/copier hooked up yet so no drawing tonight, but perhaps later this week. For now, you get two pictures. Good luck, and may the force be with you.
The next post will contain more specific givens and druthers about the content of the layout itself.
