Moving to Florida necessitated buying a free standing building for the new layout as basements are rare. 
 

 

 

Track plan updated June 2003

 

The layout plan is a full walk around "sincere" with "hidden" staging on each end. The upper level staging is 75" high permitting a walk under for most people. The plan is a double track main line and mileage is added with the peninsula and spiral back peninsula.

Including the staging area the dimensions are approximately 40x60

The plan details have not yet been added. Click on the plan to see it full size.

 

July 2002 Hugo Pallesen visited from Reims France and helped me get a start.   The owner of the building was kind enough to let us in before we officially closed.
