jd-train posted:I've been away from the forum for awhile, as I tore down my basement layout about 16 months ago. That layout was a traditional layout using Ross/Gargraves. Fast-forward and we have moved into a new rental townhouse until I retire (4 more years) and I have the basement rec room for my trains. I'm looking at a carpet layout and have a 16' x 12' area available for use. I have spent some time and have come up with the following two layouts:
The outer loop has O-84 curves while the inner loop has O-72 curves. All turnouts are O-72's.
The track on the top and right sides of the drawings above will stay on the floor (including all turnouts) while the rest will be taken up when not in use.
Anyone run the larger diameter Fastrack and what do you think of it? How about running larger trains on the carpet?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

At first glance by the header I thought you meant "SCALE" as in scale wheeled trains. Our only experience has been that constantly setting up and taking down these track systems the electrical connections become problematic over time.
