Well the train shed construction has been postponed once again. The builder had a death in the family. So we are pushed it back again.In the mean time I have the next draft of the upper deck. This entire deck is a single town (Sandpoint Idaho) along with exposed staging on the bottom wall. I have a 24x 32 foot space and still had to leave out several rail served industries in a town of 3800 at the time I model. I tried to avoid duck unders but just could not squeeze in what I wanted without them. It is tough trying to do three railroads all approaching and leaving town from different directions. Some large industries such as the LP Planing mill were served by all three of them. Try to keep things in generally the right order made it difficult if not impossible to eliminate the duck unders entirely. I thing I will say on those is that the upper deck is at 61 inches track level. The duck unders are at 3/4 inch plywood at 60 inches in height. I had the same heights in my previous house and that seemed to work. Aisles are 40 to 47 inches. The only exception is in front of the NP depot where it drops to 38 inches for about a 3 foot length. If anyone is wondering nothing is on most of the left wall because that wall has a window the entry door, and the HVAC unit taking up much of it. The HVAC is on the 10 foot ceiling about in the middle of the wall.
Again any feed back is appreciated.
