Heavens no, the biggest reason for this change in Layouts is to get me off of bending down to the floor, so there will be no need for crawling here as I am not getting any younger and I may not be able to get back up. I can easily reach all areas of this system. Couple reasons for the separated areas and a gap and span is for being able to easily vacuum the carpet under the tables which was a big downfall of the floor level Layout. A chance for a lot of better angles for video filming and a chance to sit a chair in the middle and having the trains running on 3 sides of me. Also the area under the table is a nice space to keep a few plastic storage containers holding items I need to get to easily.
I am leaning on the Dark Gray side also. I think the light gray would have looked good on the old layout because of the lighter colored carpet but it stands out too much on the dark green.
