Planning a switching layout (Max size 12x2 feet)
#13
Hi

With me being sick for a few days Ive had alot of time to think. I have changed the trackplan, and reduced the number of industries. Im quite pleased with this layout and I think it gives me some good opportunities for a bit of scenery as well, but as a beginner Im sure there are some parts that can be improved.

A general explanation of the layout:
Bottom track: This is the mainline, and will mostly be for astethics. Will be used if the layout is expanded in the future.
Second from bottom: This track is for inbound/outbound cars. Along with the mainline this track will have catenary, but the rest of the layout will not. So cars left here will have to be picked up by the local switcher. Im also considering adding a connection to the main line on the left side of this track, see second picture.
Left side: These three tracks will be used for container/autotransport cars. Incoming cars for the car dealer/workshop on the right side.
Right side: Car dealer and workshop. The two tracks will be used for incoming car parts for the workshop.
