Layout planning in 3D

The above photo is the corner of the layout where Two Harbors will go. I put some boxes and cars to mock up the scene and get a sense of what things will look like and where things will fit. Looking at the original 2-D plan, it was now obvious that the wye wouldn't fit and generally interfered more than it helped. So out the door that went. That sent all the other track on that side into chaos, but with the foam base, I can just plop a piece of flextrack down, pin it temporarily and see what it looks like. I can go over the track centers later and put down permanent track and roadbed once I get it to my liking.
