GRP,
I know from you other post that you specified 16' x 10', but how wide? 5' should be the smallest. It would permit O54 and O42.
You looked at many options for track plans, but the Thor trains large O examples have no accommodations for accessories and require train detection and anti-collision prevention to operate two trains simultaneously.
Dan's is a single train with lots of action and accessories with space for all of them. The Lionel 456 Coal ramp and 397 coal loader had to be relocated for proper space and operation.
Ken, myself and few others can create a plan for you with an inventory detail and annotated plan for assembly.
Answer these:
- Is a 5' wide table ok?
- Will you walk around the L or will there be sides along a wall?
- Which track do you want to use?
- Do you want any rises or an all elevated line?
- Which accessories do you want to put on it? (Name like Marx or Noma station) or number like Lionel 364 or AF 796
it's important that you submit a Givens and Druthers list as detailed as possible. Given is a must have or a physical limitation, Druther is a "like to" have
We don't mind taking the time to create a layout plan, but keeping the time to minimum is necessary.
Dan started with the first attached photo and we arrived at the second attached photo. Any ideas you can put on paper and post a photo of are also helpful.
