Just starting my first in depth scenic ridge RR. I like to stand to work on things and It pains me to bend over and do dishes. What’s a good height for the base of an N RR?
Exactly the reason mine is so high. I have some bar stools around for when we want to sit and the rest is history...Here's my take on it:
Model trains look more realistic when viewed nearly from the side than down on them..Why ?
Because in real life we see 1:1-scale trains from the side 95% of the time as opposed to from above or below them...So it helps make the model more believable/realistic, as if we're seeing the real tingalingaroooonio, but a tad further away, say..
Thus benchwork/sub-roadbed up at chest or even chin height [while standing] is my cup of tea.
