Issues:
1) Staging yard will be intentionally visible by visitors.
2) Access to all lanes of traffic in case of derailments ( on my last layout this was eventually an unsolvable problem causing me to abandon the two lanes adjacent to a wall which were not accessible! )
3) Ability to monitor the staging lanes visibly: lighting and cameras.
4) Length of lanes: to accommodate consists of at least 7 passenger cars.
5) Automation of staging lanes.
Top deck ( main level) removed to access the
Staging yards. Main level 42" above ground.
Staging yards 34" above ground.
Note the holes in the cross beams for
wiring harnesses. Bench work replete with these
features.
Note also a 12" spaces between each side of the
Storage lanes, allowing access from beneath the
middle of the layout if necessary. Total width: 48"
Easy reach to all lanes from each side.
Base of staging area painted gray.
Laying track! Yippee!
Lanes to and from the helix, also painted
gray.
Cameras from previous layout to spy on entry
of trains into each side of the storage lanes.
Camera View from small TV
Woodland Scenics Foam track bed under C track.
Easy to install and works perfectly to eliminate
noise transmission to the base bench work!
WS foam held up perfectly for me for over 14 years
with previous layout !
Lighting!!! LED rope lighting will illuminate
the staging yards. In line Rheostat works perfectly
to adjust light intensity.
BR 44 under the LED lights.
