For those that are curious of the layout footprint. These can also be viewed with the links under Layout Track Plan in the right column of the blog. The layout is currently housed in an addition to my home. The addition total foot print is 21' x 40'. The layout room is 21' x 25' and the additional space was made into a craft room for my wife. She has so graciously agreed to let me use the craft room as a crew lounge for operating sessions in the future. Thanks Dear!
The footprint for the layout was drawn in XtrakCAD which is a free CAD program that can be downloaded by clicking the white hyperlink.
Upper level, with the helix in the lower right and Santa Fe NM Yard in the upper left. The industry tracks have not been laid yet as I have been experimenting with ideas for those.
Lower level, again with the helix in the lower right. El Paso Texas yard on the left side and in the upper right will be an interchange with the Southern Pacific's Sunset Route. The over and under on the left peninsula is undecided at this time. Trying to come up with ways to extend the run has its challenges.
