Plans for the 2020 Christmas layout.
I have a week's worth of work done. The part I hate the most - wiring (well, that part isn't done yet sadly). It didn't take long to make an observation.
WHAT A DUMMY!!! One would think that after 60 years of designing the Christmas layout at my parents' and then for myself that I could come up with fool-proof plans in my sleep! How I screwed up so badly this year has me scratching my brain
Since I will not be hosting a single person this year I just wanted something simple just to have a layout up and running for Christmas - lift the spirits, you know.
This is, no, was, the plan. Do you see the fatal mistake? This is the lower level:
This is the upper level - just a 4'x12' loop around some nice scenery that I have plannedL
While I could have come up with better solutions for the fatal flaw section, I lacked motivation to running more wires and took the lazy person's way out. No guests, no problems. I don't actually run the trains by myself hardly at all so just having a simple loop back there is fine. I eliminateds the crossover and fit some curves in to m ake the loop
