Ted S posted:Thank you all for sharing! @Tom Densel I love your concept. Would you be kind enough to share your track plan?
I had to dig this out. I made it when I was designing the layout. I just added the numbers for the industries and other buildings. The room is 10 1/2' x 12'.
The Penn Central is indicated in black. The AC&Y is indicated in red. The green is the interchange.
1. Z4000 transformer 2. Switch tower 3. Passenger station. 4. House. 5. House with garage. 6. Pipe organ factory (R). 7. Produce distributor (R). 8. Gas station. 9. Scrap yard (R). 10. Lumber yard (R). 11. Grain elevator (R). 12. Down town. 13. Fuel Distributor(R). 14. Fertilizer plant (R). 15. Feed mill (R). 16. Electric sub-station. 17. Factory 1. 18. Factory 2 (R). 19. Warehouse (R). 20. Railroad offices. 21. Oil well. 22. Coal yard (R). (R) Indicates rail service
If I had to do it over, I would have reversed the orientation of the crossover by #11. As it is, I can reverse a train by running it through the crossover or interchange track, but, I have to perform a reverse move to get it back to its original direction. There is a lift out bridge over the walkway, between #2 & #21. Removing the bridge adds another element to operation.
I operate with TMCC. Track is Gargraves with Ross switches. 042 curves. All switches are remote control with DZ-1000 switch machines. Power is provided by a MTH Z4000 transformer.
Here are some overview shots of the layout.
