I need some assistance. My permanent layout plans are on hold. My wife and I are looking at a move in the near future and I don't want to get too tied up in my permanent layout.
I was wondering if someone could bang out a waterfront switching plan for a 4'x13' space. It is already built.
Givens and Druthers
(Mid Michigan Ry)
Scale: HO
Gauge: (Std
Prototype: (Loosely, C&O, PM)
Relative Emphasis: (move the V)
|_____________V_______________________|
Track/Operation .................................................. ..Scenic realism
|_________________________V__________|
Mainline Running .................................................. ........ Switching
Operation Priorities: (rearrange as required)
Eye Level (Owner) __50_In.
________________
DCC with walk around throttle
It needs to provisions for expansion after the move.
Grades: Michigan is fairly flat ground but the waterfront line should be lower than the industrial portion. I will trust the judgement of whomever will take this challenge and run with it as to how to deal with the grades.
Minimum radius 22"
Minimum turnout #4
I would like provisions for a turntable and a 2/3 stall engine house. It does not have to be a roundhouse.
I will be using a mix of motive power between medium and small steam as well as a few diesel switchers.
I greatly appreciate any help.
