Ted would no doubt benefit from viewing John’s layout in my model train video series as John has set up a very compact HO layout in a small space. Anyway, here is Ted’s question and he would like feedback and ideas from readers:

“I have a space approximately 14 x 8 for a new HO layout (first time for me), but I have walls on two sides. How do I solve the problem of access to all track areas but still make good use of the space? Are there any “classic” layouts that would work particularly well in this type of space?”
