Reply to "Design a trackplan - not as easy as it looks!"

Kelunaboy, an operating volcano out at the end of your island would be cool.  Just kidding. If your looking for some other track plan ideas, can you show us where the doors and windows are? Or, are you satisfied with what you came up with? Most people don't have a problem with being inside the loops of their layout. But for myself, I seem to get dizzy and stressed after only a short time when the trains are running around "me". I always lean toward a track plan that the trains are "going to" and "coming from" somewhere. Your room may be capable of a bent "dog bone" design where you can offset the ends of the dog bone for maximum radius curves for the room size and not have to "dunk under" or "lift out" any track. If your going to be running full scale engines though, you may be limited to an "around the room" design.
