Thanks James, see (URL) for the description that goes with the layout. You are right about the industries and town areas. Se other posts about the train yard, will have to be redrawn in a different location. I tried to fit as many sidings as (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

I wanted the whole layout to be 8 wide friendly, Kevin reports that Big Red takes 14 bricks of clearance from the ties on the track, hence more than one pillar is needed, and the inclines are only in full pillar increments. I tried to make it go (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

You are right, the switching yard stinks. But we can't fit 6 tracks AND have room for structures or a storage yard, in 30.5 inch width. Maybe moving the switching yard to the right side and the mountain and elevator to the bottom would be best. More (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Regarding it... I like the variety of track. Looks like lots of room for town in the top right, and industry in the top left? About the only thing I don't like is no train yard... Maybe kick the mountain higher on the layout, and run a short ladder (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
