As with many things in model railroading there’s a lot of give
and take on what you can do. In N scale it’s nice to have a
lower deck that’s higher so you don’t have to bend over to see
the detail, but if it gets too high the upper deck gets in the way
and you can't see the lower deck very well.
MRH:
What is the lower deck height?
Rob:
The lower deck varies from about 34” to 40” because
there is a slight grade on it.
MRH:
That’s just a little higher than desk height.
Rob:
It is lower than I'd like. I have some backless office chairs
on wheels for lower deck operators to use.
The station here closed to passengers in the late '60s
and is now used by work crews for storage.
