You are doing fine,looking good! To fix the conner problem where the track is close to running off the table,put a triangle gussett in there will make you feel better and not worry about comming around the corner to fast!!Build two truss bridges,place them side by side and remove the center braces,WOLA double track truss bridge.!![^][:D]

Bob, starting at the bottom of the plan, that right end is a table 4x4 feet and it runs to the lower corner on the left a total of 16 feet. The center peninsular is 4 foot long two feet wide connecting to another 4x4 foot table. The upper table is 4x8 feet. I think it has a mainline run of about 75 feet. The hightest point is on the center table at the bridge, 3 3/4 inches.
Each large square on the plan is 2 feet square and the layout is in a room that is 15x21 feet.
Hope that helps!

thanks a big help in determining size ratio, my room is slightly bigger 18x22 so its a good start for me
again thank you

Take six months off to remodel your bathroom, do some gardening or whatever. Works for me. You feel so good getting back into the hobby afterwards. You’ll have time to clear your head and solutions will come to you much easier. Whenever you feel like you’re getting frustrated, stop. Go work on something else. Maybe visit some place or thing railroad related.
