Hi all,

Can someone please indicate me a good on-line resource where I can find
track diagrams from REAL stations, depots, junctions and such?
I am interested in knowing how designers have overcome awkward limitations
to the possible geometries. Right now I am trying to design a station, where
I'd like to implement less conventional solutions for track disposition (in
order to make train operations simpler, supressing the need to reverse at
terminal stations for instance).
It's more an exercise of "can it be done like this with LEGO?" than a *real*
building project, but I'm quite interested in it despite that - hence my
plead for help.

TIA for any help you can provide,

Made a scan for you from the Hengelo depot the way it was around 1990...
http://www.vanree.net/~javanree/images/hengelo_locloods.jpg (around 400
kb) Hope this helps.

(...) Sure does! Thank you very much. This plan is especially good for its clarity in the schemes - I wonder if there is a worldwide "standard" for representing tracks? Pedro (22 years ago, 1-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
