Some people have misinterpreted the changes I’ve made to the
layout as some sort of vendetta against multi-level railroads.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Sure, perhaps I’m
bucking a trend by going from a multi-deck layout to a single-
deck layout, but if my layout goals were different I might have
been perfectly happy with the multi-level railroad. Building,
and rebuilding has, after all, set me back about three years. On
the pragmatic side there were some things I learned in building
the multi-deck layout configuration that may prove helpful to
those planning to build a multi-deck layout.
After thoughts ...
14: Note for those building multi-deck layouts. The
under-cabinet lights used to illuminate the lower deck
worked pretty well.
13: The "modern art" sculpture appearance of the origi-
nal layout (see Fig. 3) has been replaced with this
(under construction) panorama of rural New England.
