Location, Track Module and Industry

It's only 10 inches between the bottom of the HO scale shelf and the top of the new location for the O scale test track. However, the height is perfect for viewing from my desk chair and the reach to the turnouts is acceptable.

I liked the track only module approach I did on the HO scale "Time Saver", I will follow the same approach for these O scale modules.

The industry can be added after the track module is completed on a separate module. I was initially considering a concrete grain silo, however, maybe Pulp and Paper might make a better mix of traffic.

If this works out I plan to connect the area to rest of the layout with a removable bridge. If it doesn't work, I will use the track modules elsewhere and place a single test track above my work area.
