Looking down from the second floor. To the right is the original temporary staging yard that provided staging for both ends of the layout. In the far background is the edge of the backdrop at the west end of Sudbury.

The staging yard seen here has been replaced (in the same location) by the double-level staging yard for the Parry Sound subdivision and points south, with Romford and Coniston above. The chop saw at left centre is roughly the location where Sprecher is now.
