HELP, on yard area

O.k. guys, I thought I was a pretty savvvy guy on programs and such and I have tried to work the Atlas freewarew program and I give up, either I am just a dumb $%&&&*$###^&^ or something. So here I am asking for help.

What I have is a 2 ft by 10ft 6 inch area for my yard and engine service facilities, I am having all kind of trouble trying to fit and design this area, and I cannot figure out why, maybe its a mental block thing.

So if you have any spare time on your hands and would like to design me one, I would be GREATLY appreciative, or maybe trade you something for your help.

If interested just shoot me a line to orleans63@yahoo.com so I can give you the engiine buildings list and foot print of each building I have for that area.


Thanks,

George

What scale?

What scale, does the yard have to curve at the ends?

 

[TN_Trainman]

Nope no curves on the ends, but I do have a 90' Turntable and a three stall roundhouse, a coaling tower (wooden type, it cannot straddle a track) sanding shed and towers, water tank, and SS diesel fueling set any hel would be great! The scale is HO

THANKS A LOT Big Steel, it looks super I will mock it up tomorrow or Tuesday and see how it looks on the layout and post a picture.

 

[bigsteel]

im glad you like it!and make sure to post pics as soon as possible!i want to see your finished yard and how it turned out.--josh

 

[TN_Trainman]

Big Steel one question what are the size of the turnouts you laid the yard out with ?

 

[bigsteel]

they are all number six but i just used it genericly the actuall car storage MAY be #4's but thats only if you use 4 axled deisels or small steam switchers and the line to turntable and roundhouse should probably be #6's since larger locos will be there.
