For those who don't know, to operate Frank's layout, you had to crawl under a section of the layout. When I first met Frank, he said if he couldn't get in there it was time to stop model railroading. BTW, he did widen the section you had to crawl under later, but what's a few more inches when you're already down on your hands and knees.
And those track planning gurus complain about liftouts. I think you stay more limber if you crawl under your layout regularly.
