What do you think of this 3x6 track plan?

Robert,

I think it's only possible to determine the suitability of the layout if there are some goals attached... Technically so far, there's only the space requirement (3x6), so it is successful on that point. But operationally, as noted it's not all that exciting.

Perhaps you would like to think about the givens'n'druthers form, or something else that will help you determine what you want out of the layout. Is it for learning landscaping, watching trains run continuously, should there be an operations scheme (maybe including paperwork?), etc, etc.

If you haven't yet, you might want to Google Carl Arendt for his small/micro layout website. Very interesting stuff, and lots of ways to work operations into even the smallest layout.

Thanks, Andrew! Good points. But I'm not sure what givens'n'druthers is. I have checked Carl Arendt's layouts online before (a few months ago) and there are some good options there. I'll check that website again. Part of my "problem" is that I've already started adding scenery to one side of this 4x3 layout, but not to the extent that I could change or expand the other end of it. Thanks again, Rob
