Hello Steve,
The new train yard is much better.
But, the elevated section doesn't really tie in to anything, it is just there
because. The clearances are inadequate, both for the trains, only about 12
bricks I think, and the monorail track is about 8 bricks above the upper
track. As mentioned in other posts, it is nice to have 2 connections (in
opposite directions) between the inner and outer loops, I am not sure if I
could make that work with this layout. I'll try to work on an elevated track
layout this weekend, but remember it takes about 22 lengths of straight track
to climb 14 bricks. (more if there are curves) No switching is feasible off
the majority of the elevated loop, leaving the other loop to do all the
displaying. Unless we have three concentric loops, but then there is very
little room for a switching yard, as the tables are only 30.5 inches wide,
there is room for only 6 parallel tracks.

The layout photo as it stands might be a bit off, but I'm sure could make it work - especially if the clearances are for the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
