In another mammoth episode, I am covering track planning once again, but this time from the perspective of the model railroader designing the railroad. Subjects covered include your modeler personality and preferences, fitting your layout into a room, the merits of a 4X8 layout, space use tips, layout orientation, human accessibility, operational concerns from a preference perspective, artistic presentation, and track plan design software. 

Just a note, sorry for the delay in episodes; I have been Amtraking across the country, moving from Wrong Island to Pennsylvania, and spending the summer with my family in Seattle. Next, I will be Amtraking back across the country and starting Graduate School, so, yeah... my life is, and will continue to be exceptionally busy.
