First let me say what a wonderful forum this is. Lots of great people here. I'm trying to work on setting up a layout that will go on a fold-up table. The max size I have allotted to me is 6'x8'.
My requirements: Fun for all. kids 3, 7 and 38
Track: MTH Realtrax
Conventional control at this time. Don't see the need to go command control on a small layout, but I'm not ruling out something like DCS remote Commander.
See the attached pdf for a layout I did.
My idea was for the front area (lower part) to be for a passenger/freight loading/unloading area - put that upfront for the kids. Perhaps have the ability to turn the sidings on/off to allow for two trains on the track (one running, one in the loading/unloading area).
In between the figure 8 would be a small town setting possibly. The line at the back of the table will have a covered bridge going over a pond or body of water.
As usual, I think I've overthinked this and I'm doubting if I can do it or not.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Ryan
