Yard as a Layout

[paulus_jas]

I did what some said couldn't be done in my space-1'x10'.

Apparently they overlooked several things.



Track Atlas C55 and #5 switches.
.
Designed based on railroadin' and railfanning experiences backed with Goggle and Bing maps industrial park research for wider variation of track designs..

Hi brakie: sounds nice , though the plan you posted was for HO. Then it is impossible, indeed i was among the non-believers. Let me believe you did not mention the scale in your original posting.
BTW I still find it weird to talk about Paul Dolkos' layout without looking at the plan as a whole, without being clear about Paul's operating vision. If i learned one lesson in model railroad track planning, a 1:1 rendering of a plan from a real railroad is impossible or at least a terrible waste of space. A design should be prototypical enough. Opinions about what is enough will be different for each individual of course.
