I would like the Fan House (from my Scratchbuild challenge) to go in the designated area. I thought it would be neat to make one of the "tunnel' entrances a mine entrance.
On the sheet, you notice that in the lower right corner, i can add a 1 ft section, also to the left, i can add a 6 inch wide section the entire length if needed....
ANY track with an arrow pointing toward it, is NOT negotiable, i need that there, (Unless you extend the left "curve" out over the new 6" extension
The Trestle can be moved, anywhere, any configuration. I was actually thinking of extending the secind level - and keeping it separate fron the "lower level"... do what you want to
There must be a loop, nice sized so I can just let the train run, If you follow the main (start at the trestle) you will note it comes down to the lower level - goes under the second level then returns to the trestle.
The only other rule is: IF - you keep the trestle and or second level connected to the lower level, you MUST use 22 pieces of track for each grade "up" and "Down" - unless you make the trestle a point to point section (one grade up) and you keep the loop on the bottom.
Dont forget to leave room for the Fan House, wherever you end up putting it.....
As always, ask any questions, The Fan house measures 2 ft X 3 ft... All other structures are moveable or expendable..... Don't worry about the 5 ft center section. i have a sanding block on a wooden dowl to clean the tracks, i just need more access to all the tracks in the rear of the layout.......
