Thank you all for the advice. I am changing the curves for better spacing. I do have a question regarding the O-72 versus O-81: Is it better to use the O-81 than the O-72 if I have to use straight spacers in between the O-72 curves to get the broad curve? I figure it is no longer cost effective and there is more room for electrical issues since there are more track sections.
I see no reason to use O72 instead of O81 for the reasons you cited. I played around and the number of joints increased from 14 to 19 with more small pieces.Regarding the reverse loop. This is a nook in the room and I want to utilize it, but I had no other way to run a track up there, so if anyone has any other ideas I am open to them.
As I said, the single reversing loop is not ideal, but I think it's just fine as long as you understand that you'll have to back up in order to reverse back. However, when you come out of the loop and go into the inner ovals, there is no way back out without also backing up. The single crossover between the Red ovals needs to be a double crossover just like the others.I am going to have access panels installed, as the way the room is built I am not sure how to design a layout with space for buildings and track with a horseshoe design.
Does the blue outline represent the actual room walls or is part of the room not shown? Is there access along the diagonal line or is that a wall? Where is the door? Does it open out?The long slim green in the top left is just a hill, as in 3D it brings the landscaping up high.
Got it.
