LCJ&I Lines, 45. A new approach in building my next layout

Having completed any building I could think of on my previous layout, and enjoying the creative process of building, I took it all down and started fresh, with a new layout design. I characterize this design as minimalist and sparse: I created a modular layout using 1/2" birch plywood, stained and polyurethaned, with Lionel FasTrack laid on top. The outer loop is O72; the inner loop is O60.

I think of the new design as furniture with a layout. I should mention that this new design is only possible because I don't have small grandkids anymore, and can run all the Legacy engines with a speed limit, to minimize the chance of a fall off the track.

As in my two previous layouts in this video series, the layout is in a 12' x 13.5' spare room. The rebuilding process took six months; it is captured in 4 minutes 30 seconds of video.
