I realize that Track Designer has an elevation feature, but are there other
sources of information on creating terrian for an L-Gauge train set?
I have roughly an 11' x 11' room in which a shelf system is going. The layout
is two modified dog bone loops with a run of dual mainline for the length of one
wall (say 5' minus the return loops). Looks like some switching will fit at the
ends for industry and rail yard.
I am looking keeping the bench widths in increments of 10" (that's a road
baseplate, right?) Track Designer has allowed me to get the rough dimensions of
all the track (plus a 4 stud border).
I was hoping Model Railroader magazine would be a good resource, but it keeps
making me realize all of the limitations of L-Gauge. I've ruled out plaster &
chicken wire and would rather build up scenry with plywood than burn through
bricks.

| (...) Not really. TD is the best program to come up with a concept of how much area you have to cover, and then I would fill in from there using baseplates, bricks and BURPS as you posess to fill in how ever big a area you want (or can afford). (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)
