Tomorrow (Friday) night the PFE team (minus Graeme, but plus Dr Ray “Raypar” Parmenter) are coming around to discuss the layout plans, and for one of the team (Brendon) to alter the location of the light switches and power outlets.
In advance I have set up a couple of possible benchwork scenarios with some Code 100 flextrack and a couple of trains. This has allowed me to measure trains to find a good working length (to see if the hidden storage can handle it). I came up with 3metre train lengths (maximum) on the main and about 2 – 2.5metre on the branch. I also put up a few card signs of what goes where (junction, “grainzilla”, sawmill etc) so looking at the current bare walls will show what should occupy that area when the layout progresses. And yes, no car can use the new layout room (it ceased being a garage about two days ago when the photo above was shot).
