Reply to "Turntable question: how many spurs?"

TTs can eat up a lot of real estate.  Needing multiple TTs I found that round houses were out of the question for me space wise.

Most of my TTs have whisker tracks which are 8 degrees and not all radial.   In one setting I had to wrap the tracks off to one side to allow for aisle space in my staging area.

This is the process of laying out track center lines of a recent peninsula addition.

If you need lots of spurs with a small  diameter TT,  by overlapping the outside rails with a frog that can help squeeze in more tracks.  Check with Steve at Ross for availability of the degree of frog you may need.

Keeping the ties close together you will use the least amount of space for the tracks needed.



Using a round module for the TT setting will leave additional open space in the room.
