Pictures: "Lego Attic" Phase 2

Wanting to maximize the amount of building space, the initial track layout proved problematic. We wanted to be able to run at least two trains simultaneously and be able to switch between tracks. Additionally, we needed space to park additional trains. 

Since we did not want to compromise on the number of tracks, our only remaining option was to raise the tracks. Several raised tracks variations did not prove possible due to an incline that was too step for most trains. We finally did come up with a raised track solution which also allowed buildings to be built underneath.

Additionally, in order to save valuable space that the airport took up, we decided to raise that as well with the tracks going underneath. 

As you can tell, this is only phase 2 of the layout: many buildings and details still have to be added.

Overview of most of the layout. The raised airport / spaceport can be seen in the back.  

Commercial zone. Several buildings will still be added to this part of the layout.

In the background you can see the beach and the area where the marina will be built. Also visible on the left is the gas station underneath the train tracks.

A car wash will still be built behind the gas station.

SNOT Wal-Mart lettering (the R isn't that easy!).

Martine thinks that I should have cleaned this up before taking a picture :-) 

I am not entirely happy yet with the stickers here, unlike on the Bob Evans building.

Bob Evans! We have actually come to miss this piece of Americana. The interior includes kitchen, bathroom, and seating area.  Some outside details still need to be added.
