Question re switching layout -- Inglenook or other?
#1
I've been tinkering with a small HO switching layout as a side project. I recently decided to remove its code 100 track and replace it with Tri-ang System 3 and 4 track, which is actually close to code 120 or even higher! This track was popular in Britian in the 1960s & '70s. I thought it would be "fun" to create a sort of retro switching layout for some of my British Tri-ang locos that were popular 35- to 45-years-ago.

I've tried to copy a track plan that I saw in the June Railway Modeller magazine. I've posted a pic below where I've simply assembled the track together. But I haven't nailed or glued it down yet, so I can easily start over if I want to. I've also tested the track and was able to operate my my diesel switchers with no problems.

At the moment, I'm now thinking of going back to making an Inglenook layout. FYI, space is an issue so I need to keep this layout fairly small.

My question is this: Am I better off to create an Inglenook layout instead (using the track components in this pic) or is this layout plan just as good? I expect that either is fine but I want to create one that will be the most fun to operate as a switching layout.

Thanks in advance!
