Thanks for all your nice comments, it looks lioke over 1000 hits in 1 day on
my Brickshelf folder, could that be true? In order to proceed with the
project, I have a few questions as a beginning city designer. I want to make
my church a part of my city, but don't want it to take up too much space. I
thought of building it onto a rock-like structure, high enough for monorail
and trains to go through. I would then be able to make it a corner project,
thereby not blocking view of other projects, and under the church would now
be the usually least exciting part of a layout, like 2 parallel railway
track corners. For now, the base of my church is 76 studs at its widest
point, and 163 at its longest. Before I take on my project, I'd like some
things clarified, so I only have to do it once. I'd like the input regarding
the following
Should I build a base in multiples of 32 studs, or 48?
How many bricks high (and wide) should the tunnels be to allow most MOC
trains to pass smoothly (including the track)?
How many bricks around a corner should be left free for trains to pass?
Does the base need easy access to potentially pick up derailed trains?
In a layout, how many studs are the tracks from the corners, i.e. in a
double track, where on the base (48 or 32, see question 1?), are the tracks
located usually?
Other things I may need to consider before pooring time (and money) into this?
Help is much appreciated.
Paul
