2.2.08 - New Layout Tidbits

While construction of our new layout is a ways off, we do have some information we'd like to share. The layout will be moving from our enclosed porch to our basement. It will occupy an area of about 40'x15', roughly twice the amount of space it occupies currently. The plan is to have two main loops as we do now, but also to have a few smaller loops, allowing us to run more trains at once. We'd like one of the smaller loops to be specially for the Bachmann Shay, with a prototypical grade up a mountain to a logging operation.
