The "L" becomes an "I" as the 2 existing sections take on a new shape!
I'm pretty happy with my decision to switch from a fixed layout to a sectional. I'm still not sure about how I will get up to the 2nd level but that'll be worked out in time. I took off all the shelf layout parts from around the wall as I was once again inspired by an article in Model Railroader. I want shallow scenes {Approx. 16", w/ the exception of the one city section} so I can have full use of both sides of each section. This meant that having the wall shelving wasn't fitting the bill. I've mapped out the sections on the floor in blue painters tape & have allowed for ample aisles to make moving around the layout comfortable. It did mean some annexation of some of the existing family room area. There was no grumbling about it from the natives so I guess it's alright. The sectional also allows for some creativity as you can see the city has taken on a new shape, from an "L" to an "I".
