Hi. Just joined forum today. I have a standard sized bedroom, about 12x10 to use. I have to accomidate table in the middle of the room to allow family to play board games and my wife to scrap book. I want to use kato unitrack to make a layout that will allow:
What layout type should I do?

- continual train running on a dual line main.
- a yard to do switching and some local business to run a local to.
- based on modern BNSF equip, maybe 10-15 car long trains.
- kinda based on the area around Flagstaff, AZ
What layout type should I do?
- Ideas I have had is a shelf around the entire room about 12"-18" deep and a staging area in the closet. Wife has poor helath and needs to get in the room easyly, so then would need to have a section that was hinged or could be lifted out.
- an L along two walls about 3' deep that would rise about 2-4" on the back to create a layout that basicly was two 18" shelves. Staging in closet that would almost turn it into a "C" instead of an "L".
- Do two deck shelves connected by a helix rise about 15"-18". (I think I am leaning away from this as the helix would be expensive and I hear that a 3' diameter helix is pushing it and might cause derailments on the downhill run.
- S simple oval that spans two walls L shape, one level. can still use closet for stageing.
