N-scale?

[Justinmiller171]

Here is another N-scale plan I have been thinking of:


It is the Carolina Central, a Model Railroader project layout from awhile back, this is the first layout that got me thinking about n-scale. I think that is really neat that you could have continuous running, a staging yard, and some switching all on a 28"x80" door.

My version would be set on a Southern branchline in the South. I would make each of the staging tracks represent a different end of the branch-line, but they would change during the ops session. For example, staging track 1 could represent the end of the branchline at the beginning of the session but when the train returns to track 1 it would then represent the connection to the main-line. I imagine having two trains on the layout. One local that would switch the lumber yard, team track, and factory. and anther that would switch the interchange on the layout and the interchange at the end of the branch (in staging).
