Reply to "New Train Room Finally Getting A Layout! (Last Update: 07/02/2022)"

I disagree that reverse loops are over rated.  Racetrack track plans soon become dull.  Having the ability to change direction or even hold a train in the loop while other things are taking place adds to the fun.  Of course those of you with outbuildings dedicated to a layout or basements the size of a high school gym will have a different opinion, in my small crappy basement the linear solution with loops at each end and in the middle provide endless variation.
