The old layout had a drop down part. That made the layout into 2 pieces.
Juan came up with the idea to split them and build the new part of the layout inbetween the 2 pieces. What a great idea!

Interesting developments.
So are you basically building a big U shaped layout?

Now I'm going to stir.
Why don't you make it an E with an island in the middle?
You can have a center backdrop for separation of different scenes.
Longer train runs.

I am thinking about that, but that's it - just thinking about it.
Not a lot of space to be honest and I don't want to use elevations at all.

Think a bit more.
It could add a huge amount of extra interest, especially using a few
elevations.

Post a plan then we can discuss a few options here.
I have a few ideas, E shape or maybe G shape, no elevations then.

The last thing I want to do is crowd the room, but best thing is to come view it for yourself. You might even get a coffee for your trouble...

And you had to use a tablecloth swiped from Mike's kitchen !
Couldn't you find one lettered for Onion Pacific ?
