Hi all,
I have a room in my basement that is 9 x 14. There is a door in the bottom
left. The only entrance! I would like to have a walkway into the room and be
able to reach the whole layout from above. This is Version 1.

Any help whould be apprciated. I have 2 cross tracks but was unable to place
them. I also have a coal facilty that sits above the 4 tracks on the right
side.
At each end there is a peace of rail that curves. I was going to attempt to
have that go under the layout where I would keep all the trains.
Thanks
Jim
