(...) I thought there was rule that at some point on the layout the trains had to cross over each other. ;-) The layout we are working on has a climb into a mountain, where a ski resort will be and three tunnels to provide transaction from scene to (...)

(...) I assure you, the GMLTC thinks in three dimensions. The layout we're working on now will have trains running at least four different heights, and maybe five if we can squeeze one more into the design... We try to put "interesting" things at (...)

(...) I think in 3 dimensions too but on a plywooder layout with no terrain, a bunch of ramps and bridges tend to make things look more toylike unless there is some clear justification for the bridges (to cross over another line for a plausible (...)

SRC wrote in message ... (...) Floorplan looks great. Looks like we can fit in two or more loops. :-] Good arrangement of tables as well. What are the dimensions? Idea: Make a track designer template containing only the tables and send it to the (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) Yes I've got the over-all plan much the way I want it, (I'm going to incorporate Michel's idea's as possible) and plan to leave the town area entirely up to you - I'll have something more specific soon.

(...) Looks like a plan to me. Do you want me to work on some track plans, or have you already got a good idea of the layout? It would be very cool if the town area doesn't need to have 4 tracks in front of it... it doesn't seem like much, but that (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
