 | | "Core" layout features for rtlTrainN
|

I've captured one of my deisgns that I think is fairly good: (URL) 10 & 2/2 modules * 2 full loops for added engineer time * "Hightown" area raised 18 bricks encompassing 2 modules * Tunnel under Hightown for the lower loop * Either loop could be (...)

I've been creating dozens of layouts in TrackDesigner. I see some things recurring, and I wanted to know how people felt about the importance of including certain features in a layout: (A) An "inside" centre space. _Description_: The modules, in at (...)

(...) I have one module and two half modules. As I've mentioned before, my apartment is very small so I don't have enough room to store modules. However I do have the capacity to build for more then just two full modules if needed. I'd just need (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So I've done a little more thinking. First, it occurs to me that this layout is sort of the minimum sized big-8 layout: (URL) requires 7 modules. It has no "inside" space It is too small to add any significant height change It has two separate (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I think that's why he said he might have to re-design it....or else it would make the layout bulge out from the center....which we probably don't have the space or the tables for. (...) This sounds like fun....I might just have to re-build (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That's a neat idea too, however it doesn't leave much room for buildings, and it will require everyone to rebuild their modules. I was trying to remain with the standard module layout with the track to the outside. This way anyone with already (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Here's a link where I've pre-approved the content. Nothing naughty here! (...) Yeah, that was some of the rationale behind the idea. Unfortunately, I've waaaaay too ambitious with my layouts, and consequently we'd all have to build 4-tier (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) can you supply a deep link for it?... I can't wait to see it... (...) I like the 'Core' idea, It allows for a more professional appearence, and It forces us to plan ahead of time, and have things built sooner. Do you still intend to use your (...)
