Dan Padova posted:Okay, I have been playing around with more track plans using Railmodeller Pro. I know I said my last idea got away from the straight forward post-war plan, but, it involves too much switching. So this is my latest idea. I copied the plan onto paper so that I could draw in the accessories. I've placed a few operating accessories on it, with the thought in mind to try and fit more in.
Some experimenting with the actual accessories will be in order once I start to lay track, but this is a general idea of where I am at now. All track is "O" gauge. O22 switch tracks and two O42 manual switch tracks because there isn't enough room for the switch drive.
I will welcome any thoughts. I must say that having these forums allows us to gather ideas from all over the country. Compared to when I was last into "O" gauge, late '70s to early '90s, when there was no internet, gathering ideas was time consuming and mostly experimental.
Looks good, Dan. My sense is that this plan will accomplish your goals.
