Nice. I'm working on ideas for my own layout. What size curves do you use? Also, which control system(s)?

Dylan, thanks for asking, I should have included that information.

I'm using a mix of 048 060 and 072 curves. Generally, a mix of 048 and 060 on the stageing level, 060 on the outer main loop, 048 on the inner main loop, and a mix of 072 and 060 on the upper loop with some 048 in there to make the reverse loop work.

I run modern scale diesel locomotives and modern scale rolling stock. Everything I own has been run on 048 with no issues.

Right now I'm only using legacy control. I may look into adding DCS in the future but that may be a few years out, I don't have any MTH powered units and it's an extra cost I'm not planning for right now.

What sort of space do you have for your layout?
