That's a really neat little layout!  Looking forward to seeing you bring this to life!

Limon Layout

DC or DCC? Have you considered pre drilling holes in the cross beams before you get much farther along for Bus wires and other wiring?

Where did you get the inserts for the leveling feet?

I've only seen the metal tee nuts that you hammer into the bottom of the leg.  I've used the metal one several times for module legs.  The problem is that they tend to work loose very easily, and gluing isn't very reliable.

It looks like those plastic inserts would be a lot more reliable, especially on modules where the legs get bounced around a lot.

Plan

Looks like an interesting plan, with lots of operational potential.  I'm looking forward to watching your progress.

It'll be DCC, Holes will be

Thanks for the input...

Adjustable feet

 The inserts came with the feet. I found them at Home Depot and they are working good.

Just enough tension to hold them in place, but still easy to adjust.

 "I'll modify the track

Good idea, the Rice layouts often are more artistic than practical. The  2 foot long runaround on the left side of this one might work better if lengthened a bit for example.   How do you plan to access the track that runs from "B" to "B" ?    I'd make sure it's easy to clean track in there and retrieve derailed cars, etc.

Your freestanding benchwork construction looks very nicely built, if it turns out a bit shaky when finished you can always stabilize it with a couple of angle brackets into a wall stud, I find that easier than adding angle braces to the legs while leaving more open access under the layout for cleaning or wiring work......DaveB 

Modify track layout

I've decided to actually make the tunnel area allot shorter and have a little higher rise between the two sides across the back area. Also instead of a single run of track through the narrow section I'll have two through there so I'll have a continuous loop around the layout with just two spurs on each side. Keep it simple at first and as my skills improve I can always. Upgrade bits later. I'll provide a modified drawing in my next update.
