Hi Dave,
Looks like having some areas designated for towns and industries and then trying to get a flow of main lines and servicing spurs has some merit. The elevation of the two main lines makes some of the design work interesting. I have trouble with having scarm have a turnout on a grade. So then grades start or end at turnouts unless there is enough track to get to the desired elevation.
Thought about moving turntable to lower right by bridge. That will eat up industry area. Looking for a coaling operation to model and using some gantry crane for maybe steel. Then a town or two with roads etc. Using the existing baseboard I'll layout some industries and designate town areas to see what can be done. I also have trouble picturing what is on scarm with how it translates to tabletop. I check the 3D drawing in scarm, but I have a block on putting in other objects once track is down.
Again Thanks for the help and support!
