Reply to "Reviews & Suggestions of New Layout Plan"

SteveH, it is luck not skill that I have gotten this far. I guess I do have the luxury of being retired so I can spend hours at the laptop. I thought I had different parts of the layout on different layers, I’ll take a look at that and modify as needed. The area you commented on is the freight yard, this area will be serviced by 0-4-0’s, 0-6-0’s, & SW-1’s. With 4” C to C at the curves I thought this would be OK, it then tightens to 3.5” in the straights. From what I‘ve read on the forum I assumed this was acceptable. I’ve only built simple tabletop layouts using Lionel “O” track, this is my first attempt at Gargraves/Ross trackage, so I’m really flying blind. The Atlas TT was a Xmas gift from my little grandchildren (see video in Blue Comet thread), so I’d really like to include it. If I can figure a way to add a lower level for train/car storage I could simplify the freight/pass yards on the right side. So far I haven’t been able to figure out how to do it. I agree it’s packed with trackage, since it will be DCS & CAB-1L I was hoping the grandkids could be running on the main while I work the yard area. Believe it or not my 4 yr old grandson is fluent and 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter is semi-fluent using DCS, I haven’t told them they can run my trains from their IPads yet!
