I like RR-Track (http://www.rrtrack.com/), it's library is rather large, everything from Z to G and all manufactures from what I can tell. They charge for the libraries, but it's a really nice program and easy to use, very similar to RTS, but tons more features.

Yea, this one has inspection pits. I'm using foam for my benchwork top, so no biggie there.

So, what about securing the track to the round house? and should I just extended the track with ties attached the 1 15/15" outside the round house?

Also, anyone put one of these together? Apparently I'm suppose to install the rails.. I'm using Code 55 on my layout, will that work okay for this? Would code 80 be better? (The turntable has code 80) What's the best way to secure the track? What's the best way to feed this track with power...

Funny, looking at the pictures of it, it looks pretty dang tall.. alot taller than 3"

Anyone have one or seen one in person? Any idea how TALL they are? All the info I find say's 160', but is that hieght of span? I need one that can go up to 10" tall.. I found one refrence on ebay that it's max hieght is 6.25", but looking at the pictues, it looks way taller than that.. Any one...

What's the best and/or easiest way to join Atlas C55 with the Peco C55 track?

I'm getting ready to select the track for my new layout. I'm debatting on which code 55 track I want to use. Peco or Atlas, or both. I've had issues with Atlas C55 in the past with some older or cheaper loco's and rolling stock because of the rail heads. Peco doesn't have those issues...

Okay guys, here is my attempt. This is the start of the track work.. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Connor

What was wrong with the WS glue? It takes a while to adhere, and works best if you spread it out after applying it.

Guess no one uses the Woodland Scenics Foam Tack Glue.. I used it on my last layout. It's a water based product.. Comes up easily.. Although the Roam Road bed can't be re-used.. (Not that you would want to).. I did just recently get a Battery Powered Caulk gun, so I may try caulk this time. :)

I was wondering what most people used when putting the foam roadbed down on the pink foam.. I've used the Woodland Scenics Foam tack glue for this in the past, but was reading alot about people using caulk.. What's the advantages of using the Caulk vs the Foam Tack Glue?

Remeber now, This is a N-Scale layout, not HO. You can have a use a 11 1/4" radius and look good with most rolling stock.

UPDATE: The door in front of the lift out has been taken out of the picture.. My wife is now going to let me put a full sized module there.. which means I don't have to have a easy path to the door now, which means I can do some other things. Attached is two more variations with the liftout...

8.75' (N Scale is 1:160 scale So 1400' / 160 = 8.75')
