Moonman,
I would like 3 tracks if i can fit it. I can go beyond the 8 feet, which I believe I will have to do in order to have O84 on the outside. I figure O72 circle inside, O72 with a straight in middle, and O84 with a straight on the outside. Im open to ideas on the side closer to the yard. In the back, I am figuring that to be just straights as for the most part you wont see that from the front. I am planning to build mountains and tunnels over the track in teh back, and then build up in the middle for the 2nd and 3rd level. I am probably using plywood for 2nd and 3rd level. i want to be able to come underneath and come up in the middle of the oval of the 1st level.
As far as Seacoast said, he beat me to the punch. I do have about 7-8 O72 Wye switches that I love. I like them better than the Left and Right O72 switches, so I was planning to use the Wye's for the yard. I have about 19-20 O72 fastrack switches. I think on my last inventory count i had 10 Left and 9 right. Could be 10 right and 9 left, not sure, but im pretty sure its 10 and 9, one way or the other.
So I do have enough. And they are all billed for the 1st level. I have 2 O48 switches to build a siding on the 2nd level, and I was just planning to do a plain O36 oval on the 3rd level.
I do also have a Disney Monorail that id like to fit somewhere, but I can fit that in later, i dont want it to deter from any of the train track plans.
I like your initial concept and if you can build off of that, that would be awesome. I totally appreciate all the time you are spending to help me out!!! PS, I cant download scarm bc I am on my work computer and am not allowed to download anything on it.
Thanks!
