    I can identify with this. I live in apartments so I can't have anything permanent. I too had floor layouts but with a back injury I now put em up on saw horses. I also have 4 radio controlled planes and a rc truck.

    Really smart and tasteful. I’ve wanted to add a backdrop for years but knew I could never get it glued in place just right. What a simple idea to just tack it up and let it hang smoothly without it being a permanent commitment. Great ideas. I’m tuned in for more. Thanks!

    Little late to the party but the back drop looks incredible. I have used back drops and did the same thing you did. Just used push pins. Best way to do it imo. Good luck Ben.

    It's definitely a unique concept, and I definitely understand your issue with not wanting to take up all your floorspace for a layout.
    I'm found something a bit more unconventional myself, in that I'm planning a modular layout, that runs both H. O. Scale and N scale, with the larger being on the forward edge of the layout nearest view, with all the fine details, and switching operations, etc. And then the N scale, will be farthest back, and elevated on a cliff about 12" where it can be free to run longer trains, and looks like a two track main line.
    I chose Eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico as those mesas and buttes kinda divide up the scenery, yet leave plenty of wide open area for viewing those long trains on the N scale.
    I like your construction ideas too, as to the backdrops. I ruined one trying to permanently glue it to a plywood backboard.
    Great work, Ben.

    Very cool stuff! I just came across your channel today, and love the content and what you are doing with your layout! I've never seen or even considered a floor-based layout with scenery like you are doing. Since I've just started dipping my toes into O gauge (I've primarily done HO and N scale and lately some Z scale), this idea intrigues me. I plan to build a small 24"x80" door-sized switching layout in O scale later this year, but the idea of making a bunch of sceniced modules I could assemble on the floor for a time and then store away has me very interested since I have no available space for a permanent O gauge layout (at least not for several more years).
