Latest thinking on my glorified roundy-roundy. (It's still very sketchy.) I had planned to avoid any gradients but the reversing loop works better that way. The up gradient should be better than 1:120 2983_242221_590000000.png |

Added storage to the reversing loop. Should be able to accommodate eight decent length trains. Everything else needs to be reconnected |

At least everything is connected now. As this one shows all the rails and timbers your screen refresh might be a bit slow. Hide the timbers if it is. |

I'm not sure what to do about the turnouts for the storage loops at the back of the layout. They will be "off stage" and constructed from Code 72 FB rail on copper-laminate. They will be functional but not pretty. I would like to maximize the lengths of the loops without compromising reliability by making the turnouts too severe. Currently they are all B V-6 which seemed like a reasonable trade-off. Should I try to shorten them to extend the lengths of the loops or should I go the other way? The traffic won't be going at high-speed (I hope ) (The facing turnouts may actually be "frogless" although that remains to be seen.) |
