I have put up a few tentative layouts at
http://24.141.26.239/ltrain.htm
i modified my switching yard a bit and may upload the latest image tonite,
but basically i take the last switch and just curve it up to the top where
it goes the edge at exactly 4 studs from the edge, thus making this module
able to connect to another layout either at the side or at the top.
that's the part i like.
are we also having another line, as shown in Calums, run through our layouts?
my little vote is to have only the outside edge as a continous run because
having a track 'cut thru' the center of my layout would make my switching
yard verrry tiny.
anyway, my 2 cents, but, a la lemming (thanks chris) i'll go with the
majority of the crowd.
the first module i'm building is my switching yard, then if i have time,
track, modules and patience left, i may build a town.
