Dawson Creek Subdivision - British Columbia Railway - H0
#65
Hi there,

I haven´t done much on the layout so far. I´m not happy with my lower level. I´m still missing a staging and the solution for the yard is ok....but not more....I made some op sessions the last weeks but I´m not realy satisfied with it when I reach the lower level.
Here´s the trackplan of the lower level as it is today.

So I searched the net and a lot of my books for some inspiration and finaly decided to redo the complete lower level trackwork. I did some tests with Anyrail and finally found a solution with a yard around one corner and using the helix for reaching a third level for staging without a complete Helix rebuild. Maybe I´ll build a better Helix someday but not now Wink
I also have an engine service area and the spur to the Canfor mill. I have to buy some turnouts,flextrack,kork and plywood but before I´ll start that I want to know what you think about my new plan. Any ideas and tips are very appreciated. So here´s the new version of Chetwynd yard on the lower level.

The Radius on the maintrack is 80cm in the yard area.The mainline is the second yardtrack from the left.There are track 1 passing siding, 2 main and the other 3 are arrival/departure tracks. The main coming from Fort St. John staging below Chetwynd .The track passing next to the engine service against the wall is the main south to vancouver. Hidden staging will be 4 to 6 tracks.
So the more I look on the plan the better I like it.Please tell me what you think about it.

Thanks,Chris
