New Home Layout Finally Started

[Joe Ferguson]

We are finally settled into our new home.  This is the first time I will have a dedicated layout room in the house.  Previously, I have used half of our garage, which gets rather warm and dusty in the Oklahoma summers.  The room is 16x24 feet.  I have removed all of the construction grime that was coating the floor and have it sealed.  I have started benchwork construction, but of course the Ikea Ivar shelves that I am using under the benchwork are hard to find during the pandemic, so I am progressing along as I can find them available.  Some areas of the track plan are a little out of correct order, but I tried to fit in everything I really wanted, despite the incorrect order of some areas.  The layout will be set in the late 1920's, but will see a lot of DSP&P rolling stock ran as well.  I had the room designed for my model railroad, so I am hoping my planning works out reasonably well!  Here are a couple of photos to start off with.
