All,
I have packed as much track as I can fit on a 4 X 7 sheet of plywood! This was my "proof" layout.. proving that I would enjoy this new hobby and that what I read is posible. It has been proven, time to move on... Previously I had wasted some bandwidth in this forum with layout plans, and appologize for bothering. That said, I have had to revisit my previous space allocation and come up with something that is useable NOW, instead of waiting for other pending projects to complete to begin.
Here is the space that I can use. The heavy black lines are the only real walls (no access), the lighter lines represent the maximum space I can use (full access). Iv tried a few bench work options, but Im in a rut. My engines and stock is mostly modern era, though not current.
Throw out any ideas!
Duck unders, lift outs, hinges etc. anything goes!!!
A theam would be a great place to start!
Givens:
ho scale
DCC
At least one continuours loop
Mulitple trains and operators, with 3 independent play areas:
For example: (1) mainline freight (2) Main Yard Switching (3) Mine/industry switching
Operations over everthing else
