Wow nice work! I'm glad to see other people my age taking an interest in model trains. I'm only 16, and I've got a 4x12 layout, but I'm already thinking bigger!

I'm excited to see more done with the layout.

I would move the track from the edge of the bench work. Leave room for scenery. Those are expensive engines to be crashing to the floor.
