Hi Steam Revival,

Lol! Glad it made you laugh and Happy New Year.

I am left with a less than ideal space, which at first seemed large, but now that I am in the track planning stage, seems to be quite restrictive.

I had hoped to be able to have a 'U' shaped tail chaser but due to the position of the door, it may end up being an end to end, albeit quite long.  For various reasons, I want to avoid having a lift out section or duck under a board to enter the room.

Have cobbled together some temporary support benchwork with offcuts from a recent wardrobe installation project.  As these are chipboard, they are not suitable for the finished layout, but will hopefully give an idea of what is workable.

I am sure that I will come up with something but for now...................................

All the best!

Hi, Happy NewYear to you and yours!

That looks like a very useable space to me and I am sure that you could accommodate at least 1 loop.

Have you considered posing a question about potential layout designs in the forum pages?

 Be prepared to be berated about wanting a tail chaser, seems as if the purists don’t like the idea of trains going in circles, but don’t be discouraged, it is your layout after all!

I just wish I had your space available 

Happy modelling!

Thank you!

I might just do that!

How about you?  I see that you and I are both interested in the same period and both based in Hampshire.

Good luck!
