Family challenges for the past year or so included kitchen renovations and job losses to contend with. However, we have that behind us now.

I purchased two tables from a business that was shutting down. Now I have an L-shaped table and am laying out track.

I want to extend the table that is out toward the camera. I can easily build about two or three feet onto the end and still have an aisle to get behind the table to the right. I'm going to use the Kato N scale track plans freight yard as my guide.

The turnouts are #4, but I don't plan to run long trains on this layout, except for the main line. I can use #6 for that, however.

I still have to sort out the curve radius and potentially add a 2 - 3 inch strip along the sides of the table to accommodate the wider radius track.
