Selective Compression

[Brakie]

But in N scale, a mile (5280 feet) is still fairly long - 33 feet instead of the 60 feet it would have been in H0 scale.

And that might be more of a "expert" trap then a necessary-why even bother to worry about 60' as a mile since the average non-Godzilla size layout struggles to be a 1/2 mile and a ISL even less?

Here's the ticket..We should use our space wisely and selective compression should never be used to cram more track or buildings in a small space.IMHO Reinhard has found a excellent balance for selective compression and his photos shows a fully believable result that shows industries that actually look like they need rail service.

Maybe we need to rethink selective compression in a more realistic manner instead of being sheepeople lead by "experts" that still believes in more track and compress industries is better?

There is several excellent ISL plans in the layout section that follows the "Mindheim" disciplines of ISL planning and the best use of selective compression for large industrial buildings that looks like they need rail severice..
