Review of the Double Deck Layout Design

What are the advantages and well the problems that you've encountered with double decking? Well, one of the biggest problems I find with double decking is the logistics as far as your bench work, finding that perfect height between the upper and the lower level. For me, I'm six foot one, my upper level seems a skosh too high and my lower level seems a skosh too low. Now the next, you know, I've had a lot of people say, well these are the perfect heights. The biggest thing I don't like about the double deck is I like narrower scenes, if I was to redo the railroad I probably several scenes would narrow them up more than what they are Oh really? currently, Bill Darnaby's layout, which uses very narrow scenes was very instrumental in that respect. So this has worked out well for you, this is the current fashion and hobby, shelf layouts? Absolutely, absolutely, I think it's just the way to go. I, I, I think you get actually better scenes that look more realistic because the larger the scene we tend to just start filling it in for the purpose of we got all this area to fill in and you get somewhat unrealistic scenery because you're just trying to find something to shove in that corner, well I'm gonna put a building there. I like the historic research and then-- You did that yourself? Yeah, I do that myself. CNO Historical Society is just a wonderful tool. I like when I recreate, I like recreating three dimensional portion of it. Probably more than anything though, is, is the friendship. You know, the joke is as the model railroad's just an excuse to get the guys to come over and drink beer. Well, okay. What's wrong with that? Nothing.
