I do hope to rebuild this and I hope it will be in a room larger than the original 11x11 foot space. No track was laid before the recent move so the plan can be altered when I get to that moment again. I'm trying to repost severl of the original psotings to illustrate the prototype area as well. You are correct that it is a complex track arrangement, but that is what the prototype was like with three railroads crossing at grade. I can't even imaging the original PRR traffic on their busy C&P mainline through here and trying to squeeze a W&LE or N&SS freight through the interlocking. Model wise, the PRR tracks are just scenery and not operational. Even in a future, larger space, I'd rather focus on the two smaller lines and their traffic density than attempt the PRR. - Eric Thanks for stopping by Bernie!

Can you allocate it to a bigger space or perhaps simplify it? That is a very complex track arrangement. Can you allocate it to a bigger space or perhaps simplify it?
