Right now my new single deck HO layout is at 55 inches for the "0" level of trackage.  That's armpit/chest high for me. I set this height after looking at examples of and reading about other peoples layouts.  I have to sleep on it a bit but right now that seems just a tad too high.  I doubt I will lower more than a couple of inches if I do it at all but I thought I'd get some opinions here.

I am starting a small steam layout where my workbench and paint booth is located. Will code 55 rail work reliably with RP25 wheels? Does anyone make buildup  code55 turnouts?  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Here's a quick cell phone video showing some progress on my N scale Housatonic RR.  I just got the phone and tried a test video.  I am sorry about the poor lighting and depth of field issues, as this was my first attempt at a video.

This loco is the first with a working bell to be in the USA.
