    Alh Hi Christopher, and welcome. I am redrawing the plan to eliminate the reversing loop and make 2 main lines. I think it will work nicely in the U shape I had in mind. I don't really care to model a particular real RR in scale, only to have some stuff that will please me. I am going to have...

    Another Noob working on a layout.

    The drawing didn't upload. Said the file was too big. it only had about 4-5 lines on it and was 1/2 the size of a page. O well. Upon accurate measurements I come up with 8'-4" wide,along top, 7' along left wall (where door is) and the right side can be any length because the room is real long. I...

    Thats close to what I had in mind. I want to make it rise up and track can go under......I guess thats 2 levels. I want to have a tunnel in mountain back right corner. And the staging area you had is fine. There looks like enough area for the scenery I have in mind. I don't want to be a pain...

    Another Noob working on a layout.

    Yep, I thought I might find out how dumb I was.... I hardly noticed this plan didn't have a complete 2nd main line! The 2 crossings are on the left, I was going to remove them and raise the track overhead. I don't really care about out and back so I don't need the reverse loop. I probably...

    Hi All. i am finally going to ask for advice here, after reading for a couple months, and buying rolling stock track etc. I want to do the Atlantic Long Haul Lines, N scale, from Atlas book and I saw where someone else asked about it also. Seemed he ended up leaning toward a shelf type design. I...

    Thanks guys, I thoght that would be the deal. I see you could do a lot more with flex as far as designs go. I am not sure yet wether I'm ready to do all myself(design thru construction). Thats why the Kato looked good to me. i think I'll try a small test track and see if I think I'll go to...

    Noob Too Being a n scale beginner, I thought i would go with Kato unitrack for my coffee table layout using the Amherst 2005 Kato track plan. Any reason besides scale looks most of you all use code 55? What do you think of the Kato track? I have learned an awful lot here and am very happy to...
