Hello all, here is the latest version of my track plan. I am new to O scale ( moving from up from ho). I am starting with a couple of LC starter sets and plan to use only LC, LC+, and Legacy locomotives. The layout has 3 main loops 2 lower and one upper which I plan to power with a lionel brick or transformer at least 80 watts or more. I do not have any conventional equipment at this time.
I will be using gargraves flex and ross switches. The tracks are designed on 4.5 inch spacing and 4.5 from the walls. I have tried to lesson the s curves as much as possible. I still need to plan sidings for industries and determine where I need access hatches. I am still working to decide how much of the upper level will be bridge track and how much will be on a deck.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated ( especially on the reverse loops and crossover placement )
Specs are:
Room is 16x24
Outer main is 072 min radius
Inner line is app.063 min radius
Upper line is 054 min radius and is 8 inches above the lower tracks
Ramp up to upper level is a 1.9% grade
