Louisville & Wadley RR and Wadley Southern Ry.
Very interesting track plan for modern shortline freelancers. Would like to see it adapted to midwest industries and operations in the 70’s and 80’s.
nice
Very intresting track plan with plenty of options for operating.
very nice
It has potential for a dual gauge layout as well - Wadley could be the interchange - with logs coming out of one side and cut lumber picked up and transported on the other RR
Steve did a great job with this plan. With more room, being able to run CG trains from a staging area into Wadley would add even more interest.
What a great layout!
Am I missing something when I say that there is no continuous
travel for the engine around the layout? Or is this some type of track plan that doesn’t call for that
Nice layout. It gave me a couple of good ideas to incorporate into my layout
There is a great deal of working RR here. I picked up some ideas for off of my main lines as I am in the process of building my layout.
This is a very interesting design with plenty of access and switching areas, yet with enough length for a decent main line.
I have a similarly shaped layout with a bone turn and helix around the “Swainsboro” area leading to a 2nd level. The peninsula is larger and contains an 8 figure, long bridge and a loop. I did not want to compromise on aisle widths that are used as gathering areas during op sessions, hence the overall size is larger (13’x20’). One area of concern with this design is access to the back of the “E” especially if it’s backed against a wall. Otherwise it provides plenty of operation opportunities and room for expansion.
