Lots of railroading in a mid-sized space

I cannot speak highly enough of Peter's design skills. As he noted in the presentation, I struggled mightily with my own design effort and after watching many of his videos decided to engage him on my project. So glad I did as there is now a real possibility that this layout will actually get built!! I move a little slower than Peter :) but the lower level benchwork is complete, the storage cabinet has been built and the helix has been relocated - lower level trackwork is next up. I am using a modular approach wherever I can to address the potential move in a few years' time.

I love how you are able to finesse your clients wishes into the least cooperative of room spaces. And then, as I further study the trackplans, I totally get why someone would then pay you to build it and ship it to Australia! Finessing that track takes serious woodworking skills most of us aren't equipped to build with our meager collection of power tools. You are a master, Peter! An absolute master! ❤

Another great plan for an awkward space. I love how you take the mainline drawing and just click once and all of the the other tracks just appear as if it were that simple. I would think that is the hardest part that required the most thought. I have the general plan of my layout figured out but don’t have enough experience to know where and how far apart each industry or sidings need to be or their layout. Thank you for sharing your layouts, they definitely help.

Such a nice design Peter. You really do make the most of available space.

Peter, I have to sy that I enjoy both type of videos, the construction ones seem to help us a lot in learning how to build our own layouts.

Another excellent plan. 👍

Beautiful.

Thanks for another excellent design video, Peter. I always pick up very useful ideas for the club expansion.

If moving in a couple years personally I'd just focus on building structures and small dioramas that could integrate into something in the new space

I like all the explanations of why you do things. That is inspirering. Thou I will not make a replica of the real world, your work is fun to follow.

Nice work fitting that layout in a tight space, somewhere John Armstrong is smiling!!!

Another excellent use of space.

Amazing

Another enjoyable project. I love watching your videos. You are indeed a very talented engineer, designer, and modeler.

thank you for super detail video as all way good watching

Hi Mpeterll & it's is Randy and yours video is Cool & Thanks Mpeterll & Friends Randy

Thanks Mr. Peter your video excellent! 🇧🇷🚂👏🏻

As always, an excellent presentation on design. Ever thought about hosting, perhaps at a hotel, a one-day or two-day seminar covering the main design considerations when presented with an area for a model railroad? You listed several at the start of this video. Perhaps too many people do not appreciate such considerations as car length and track geometry, when to use a peninsula, etc.

Servus mpll, I already like the bridge on the left!!!

I understand the "why", but I'm always amused when bits of the layout encroach on areas (desk, workshop) that originally were not part of the layout footprint. Lots of staging again - do any clients end up not wanting much?
