This layout is 20*15 feet and is along the walls plus a closet. The layout was designed by Stan Sweatt at NKP Model Railroading Services. This layout will be started over the summer of '09. I really like big steam (that doesn't mean I don't like small steam) so I decided to try to find a out of production Proto 2000 Heritage 2-8-8-2. (and i think I have found one!) I am in the process of buying track and electrical stuff. I will soon be starting the structures which will be my favorite part. I can't wait to use the turntable, its going to be awesome.
