    My first attempt at a layout.

    Hello All, thanks for all your comments. After much thought i am going to try and make the outer loops 22in and the inner 20in, this should let me run any type of loco. I guess i will just have to put an access hatch somewhere in the top right loop section just in case something happens...

    Hey Fuzz, I would love to have two tracks, one a continues run & the other point to point. Can that be possible? Andrew : Yeah it is Sketchup, top program and sooo easy to use! I like your idea for the coal mind, point to point. Is there any way to include both styles?

    Hey Fuss, Thankyou and Hello from Australia, hehe. I like your idea of losing the cupboards! Fantastic. Maybe i can use that for a staging area?
