Quote:...those plans are doing what they can by making compromises...
One of the compromises I made was that close ro 1/3 of my main line is hidden...in 2 staging areas, & under a mountain & a coal mine (won't those miners be surprised? )
This was necessary for my own personal tastes, because my track plan is quite simply a folded fig. 8 I'm using backdrop panels to make the train disappear, & then re-appear elsewhere on the layout...I can also stage trains off the layout in different directions to imply that they are actually going to & from the layout, rather than just chasing their own tail around a figure-8...
