Hello everyone, after much dismay and trying to convince myself that a flat layout is cool, i have finally decided that im not happy with my track plan and use of my benchwork. All of my benchwork is open grid design on 16" centers with 1/4" plywood for the sub road bed. On top of the plywood i have topped it with 1" extruded foam. Im trying to model western territory such as the BN and MRL, and i just cant get past the fact that all of my track work is on flat land. Im honestly thinking about takeing up everything i have done up to this point and maybe trying the cookie cutter method. I guess this is what i get for not haveing a track plan drawn up first. This will make about the 10th time i have started over. All of my track is now operational, but im just not happy. If you have seen my other post (i finally made some progress ) you will know what i mean when i say im not satisfied. If anyone has any words of wisdom or suggestions, im all ears. I have some of the woodland scenics inclines, but with my current track plan, they just dont seem to work out right. I had this vision of a winding climp up grade and then crossing back over the trac below with maybe a river scene and bridge, but i just cant come up with a feasable track plan. I cant see any sense in continueing with my current plan if im already not happy with it. I am asking for any and all comments and suggestions before i go and tear up something i may be sorry for later. Thanks to all!:cry:
