So where was Main Engineering on the 1701, anyway?


We Travel By Night tackles the question, making a reasonable argument that there were two engine rooms (impulse/saucer and warp/stardrive) using the same set. The different corridor configurations outside and the named decks would support this hypothesis. Furthermore it could be argued that whenever Kirk (and Finney, and Kevin Riley) were the only people in Engineering, they were in the engine room that wasn't being used at the moment. Scotty goes from the Impulse room to the Warp room or vice-versa as needed.
