Purchased 8 Realistic Track Plans for a Spare Room by Lance Mindheim (it's almost exactly the layout on page 42) over the holiday and it got me...
Well... I tried to improve the yard layout, which led to a couple other adjustments. I tried to improve switching/operations without making it...
Plan is coming together Triple A, good stuff! I look forward to your continued progress, interesting to see how you are working it out. I've...
Merry Christmas to all! May you enjoy a day of your preference and choosing!
I am coming to think I'll be modeling a fantasy version of the Milwaukee area (with a steampunk influence) is the direction I will be taking. I...
Triple A, thanks for the thoughts/input. I agree the yard lead could be longer, will be looking and yard designs to try to make that adjustment...
After further research of shelf layouts (around the room) I'm getting more partial to this layout type... That said, here's my latest layout...

Thanks for the input triple A, judicious use of padding will be of the first order if/when I decide to put in a duck under/bridge. The innermost...
I bought a house with an open basement... so I could make room for a bigger layout. :sneaky: Now the challenge is figuring out the layout in a...

How about this tweak? I might not even need any duck under/bridge/lift OR helix... I've got 12" of elevation and a pretty wide aisle. The...
How about a 4th iteration... I'm now considering a helix and/or a duck under/bridge with a G shape layout. The helix may be more than I would...
Something a little different... might be easier to have access all around. Not sure if it's especially elevation friendly, but I'll continue to...
I continue to explore whether I will continue to stay with a more mountain inspired layout or something based in Milwaukee and more flat... That...
I am interested in opinions & advice around how to best use the space. Since it's an open area and not a 13' x 8' room I feel like I've got some...
My Givens & Druthers The layout will be in N Scale: Size - 13' x 8' with a height of ~45"-52" Minimum curves @ 18" visible, 15" hidden...
Well, it's been one of those weeks/weekends... At least I found a little motivation here and there, but the progress is minimal. Tunnel started...
