This is fine. Have you considered...lowering the scenery and keeping the track
at the same level?
However, I would tend to think that it would work either way...and 10 bricks
high is buildable by more people than 20 (about 2/3 bricks as a guess)

Yes, but...if you knew that someone was going to set up a PNLTC style layout,
they could allways build a spiral up to your level...38/15 spiral is practical
for most normal operations, but kind of big...I would think that it would
require a truck full of PNLTC stuff before it would be worth it
(note: I'm using PNLTC as generic term for 36" flat tables)
What is the 'base' hight for GMLTC anyway? Is it that much above 36"?
