Plans A -> Y

Being given an existing layout is a mixed blessing.  While it was wonderful to inherit a 5'x4' double-loop - full 'scene'd up' (see above) - the trick now is to incorporate it into a finite space while adding enough extras to retain the interest of a four year old - who, at current rate of progress, will probably be fourteen before work commences.

AnyRail software is marvelous:  At this point, I'm guessing that designing the layout is probably one of the most exciting build stages.  However, there's no 'cut off'.  Tthe AnyRail layout can be pulled, pushed, tweeked, layers added and removed, items moved, layouts completely redesigned ... it's like photo editing software - you never actually finish.  So, the picture below represents the line I'm going to draw and get on with.

Though I may change some of it a little.  Well, most of it actually.
