Reply to "Need Help with Spare Room Track Plan Design"

Carl and Ken,

Carl was right, the design is definitely not final.  After moving into the rental house and evaluating the room further, I realized it is not a complete 16' x 13' rectangular-shaped room.  The wall where the door to access the room is located is angled causing two of the walls to be much shorter.  I updated the spreadsheet for a better representation.  Likewise, I updated the SCARM dimensions as well and shaded a certain triangle area as now unusable due to the wall angle and the door opening.  Since the layout will need less track, I think going with all Super Snap is the way to go for uniformity and sound.  I acquired another LH switch and a RH switch and I see some Super Snap for sale on the forum now.  I think I have just about enough to cover the two designs I created, but if not I only need a couple of pieces which are for sale now.  Also, I noticed the seller has 96" curves (for easements) available which is something I have not even considered.

I shortened the shelf style and tried to fit the reversing loops but I may be off on track spacing.  I think I like this style better as it leaves the room more open.

For the table top design, I would have to make the layout movable to access all the sides; however, this design allows a passing siding and one long spur, and more room for scenery.  Although, it heavily infringes on the room. 

I would like to know your thoughts and appreciate your help.

Joe
