Layout design

Hi
I’ve finished the design and started building. Rexhea suggested I show you good people before I go to far, incase you’ve got a brillant idea [?]

Tell me what you think

Cheers Ken

Looks good so far! I assume the middle section is where you will have a yard area?

Yup that’s right yards in the middle, turntable, roundhouse etc over on the left and mayby a little port town on the right side

I’m thinking of a coal mine in the loop bottom left and running coal round to a ship loading dock at the port

That’s absolutely awesome. Compact, relatively simple, yet plenty of potential action. Well done!

Bergie

Wow, I bet that’s going to look amazing when it’s all done!

Do you have specs like minimum radius, maximum grade, etc.? It looks great so far.

Hey

minimum radius is 18.5" in the middle section inside track and steepest grade is 2.5 % and HO of course!!

Oopps

Make that minimum radius 19.5 on the inside track, middle section.

The 2.5% grade is the outside track, middle section.

Very cool layout!

will you be able to incoporate a loads in/loads out area?

Do you mean yards/ industries or something else
