Hello everyone, I’m a Chinese railroad modeler but the newbie for this forum. I have viewed this forum for a long time and learned more and more skills. Thanks Again!
After monthly planning for my 2nd N Scale Germany style Layout - Schneidburg, the big moment finally arrived at Oct, 2007! Hope to get more advices about my layout design and I’ll appreciate every one from you!
The layout was designed by Wintrack 3D 7.0 and illustrated by Adobe Illustration CS.
A. This is the up level layout plan and the theme of Schneidburg is set in German during 1960s. The landscape is typically German with 2 railway stations, freight yard, Engine Terminal Service, little villages and old towns.
The plan is based on wide curves and narrow-angle turnouts. All curves start with an easement, which results in nicely flowing lines. The track system is Peco Code 55. For the Realistic running, I use the #8 electrical frog turnout in mainline and #6 in the yard.
B. Upper Level Technical Plan:
Schnediburg is a purely DCC Layout Controlled by Railroad & Co Train Controller 5.8 and I made highly detailed technical drawings before I started working. I added all isolations, turnout numbers controlled by stationary decoder, feedback occupancy detectors, power circuits, block numbers and signals. It is a lot of work, but once I have completed the drawings, I can work without having to rethink everything over and over again.
