New British Layout -- Open to Feedback

[RobertInOntario]

Robert, my only comment is one of personal taste.
If it were my layout, I would never put those long passengers on it, they just look so bad going around the tight curves.

As to the layout itself, I agree with Herc, it looks too flat. It is probably too late, but I would raise the track up and have some areas where the land is lower than the track and others where the land is higher than the track.

The track could stay level, but have the land vary.

Just my personal view.

Thanks, Will. I haven't done the ballasting yet so it's not too late to vary the elevation. I haven't done this before so I'm leery of causing derailment areas, especially where the lines join.

Regarding the coach stock: Yes, I agree, especially when you see the coaches on the 15"R curves (but it's not so bad on the 18"R curves). One solution is to move the layout's time period back from the 1950s/60s to the 1920s/30s. If I go with the 1920s/30s, I could run some short 4-wheel coaches that were used then. I already have a couple of those (I could get a few more) and the freight stock could certainly be appropriate for then as well. I also have a few locos that would have been used in the 20s/30s so this could be a solution.

Thanks for this feedback!
