Russ, Thank You for the reply. You information is well taken and appreciated. The radius around the mainline loop is Atlas At-513 which RTS 7.0 is telling me is 22" radius. I do not want to rely 100% on the software so I turned to someone to help me out. So your saying or assumptions was that...

Photo Sharing by MyPhotoAlbum.com :: MyPhotoAlbum :: Misc Pics :: My work area I set on Right Track Software was 48" by 120" I am looking for anyone to critique this and see any flaws in the layout. Something I maybe over looking. The industries are Coal and Lumber which the area I plan to use...

Thank You YmeBP after reading through your post I realized it may not be me but the software. But than again its probably me but I like that plan I am going to switch some straight track around for expansion for I have a huge room to work with but this layout is gonna be a test for me so maybe...

Ok since it seems I am not good at track planning or using right track software or maybe I just suck at figuring out radii I could again use some assistance. I am trying to see exactly what track I need for Big Jim's Layout alone I cannot figure it out exactly. So I thought maybe his is over my...

Wow you guys are great. I gave the train shop a visit I left there feeling excited. Got tons of track with roadbed. Now mind you I have the space to start my layout and the benchwork (if I am using the term correct the area to lay track and secenary) done. So the whole drive home I was excited...

Well I found a Model Railroad shop today heading there right after i finish typing this bad thing is its an hour away. Only hobby shops in the area so I am in the same boat you are.

See I know you guys would have the answer. Thanks again.

So I was at the local hobby store which isnt much for train info and the woman tells me I can only use DCC friendly track? Care to elaborate her answer? My impression was DCC friendly track meaning Turnouts and speciality track not straight and curve pieces? The LHS isnt much for trains more...

I am just trying to really decide for future add. of Locos I have the layout Blueprints the area How many train I wanna run and can the question really is future locos and switching to new Command sys and or track now before I build or is expanding more trains with the current start I have easy...

That is the track that came with the set so i can add to that no problem well the track problem is solved with your post I thank you for responding...

Ok. Noob question. Getting started with this hobby I had a train set as kid and I was telling my wife about she bought a Bachmann DCC HO train set. My dream is to make a layout. Her thoughts were without my knowledge were to buy the set as start. After reading the forums seems buying that set...
