Reply to "Christmas Layout based on Ken H's 5x17... SCARM gaps OK?"

So, this is probably a silly idea...  I started wondering if I could incorporate a tiny (N scale??) Time Saver inside one of the loops.  I think my kiddos would have fun with that.

Is N gauge even good for something like this?  Searching hasn't really found an answer (which makes me think it might not be good).  

Thanks,

N scale within or on an O scale layout represents the size of an amusement train - so, they look good - gondolas with benches and O scale sitting people

Timesaver may be too complicated - why not an Inglenook?

The library dimension accuracy  conversation is interesting - but, I was able to solve the fitment areas - I zoom when I use the measure tool- I use the default .079" tolerance in the edit settings of SCARM. I use the FasTrack lengths combination chart to find combinations to fill gaps.

I have attached the SCARM file and the combination length pdf.

SCARM only uses dimensions provided by the manufacturer - so, production variances would be an issue - but, I have built many plans from most O gauge track manufacturers and  a SCARM design and have had no fitment issues with the actual track
