I think I got it!
this is my latest design. I've got most of my operational guidlines in place...
- 2 trains at a time with minimal focus needed. (so I can theoretically run both trains and do switching at the yard without risking a crash)
- steam servicing terminal...with room to expand
- double tracked passenger terminal
- freight yard (same as original, just 10" shorter, but with a few more spurs)
- LOTS of room for industry
- elevation changes with bridges of trains crossing each other
- max 2.0 grade
- junctions
- room for lots of different scenicing opportunities including water
Currently this plan only has the mainline and terminal mapped out. I plan on transferring the main line onto the benchwork and then start layingout the industry and scenery once I have my grades/trackbed laid in.
I just need a good resource for how to lay reliable n-scale track. I'm using Atlas code 80 for all tracks, and peco turnouts.
