Ooo... More operational potential, but a bit more crowded. Hopefully you can make it work with room enough for scenery and structures!

I do remember that trackplan. I swear I saw someone's On30 layout at a show that used that same plan.

Yes it probably will be a little bit crowded, I will be using smaller structures to hopefully accommodate the space. On the left side there will be a mountain/hill where mine operations will be. I purchased a stamp mill kit for that area. It is a old Grandt line east terrible kit. It was affordable so I went with it. I also purchased some small shacks from Mud Creek models for miners cabins. They were very affordable, you get 3 shacks for $15.00. Here is where I found the track plan https://www.trains.com/mrr/how-to/track-plan-database/modeling-a-narrow-gauge-railroad-in-a-small-space-in-on30/

Hey everyone,
Just thought i would post some pics of the progress on the layout. Finally finished the tunnels and stopes in the underground mine scene. Most of the lights have been installed, have about 23 or so LEDs. Lots of work still left to do in this area. need more rock walls and dirt and track weathering and figures for outside the tunnels. Slow progress but hopefully soon I will get to the actual layout itself. Thanks for looking!!

These pics were taken with the garage lights off.
