My N Layout v.2

[pooka2hot4u]

Ok here we go. My last layout attemt didnt get far since I decided i didnt really like the plan , but now I put together another trackplan which I think is alot better.

Heres some info organized pretty much the same way as last time.

Name: Still Undecided
Scale: N
Size: 3' x 6'
Track: Atlas code 80 with remote turnouts
Curves: Minimum 9.75" Mostly 11" and some 19"
Power: MRC Tech 4 Model 260
Motive Power: Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation in UP colors
Industries: Interchange, Team Track, Tool Shop, Furniture Factory
Time Period: 1890's
Location: West Coast-ish
Season: Fall
Trackplan:

I still need to get 8 more switches since i need 10 but only have 2. But i will begin construction sometime later today and try to build as much as i can with the limited number of switches i will have. Im going out today to buy some rolling stock, switches and any other things i may need.

Now for questions:
1. I ran my 2-8-0 around a circle of 11" track and it seemed to fit it well and i just put it down on a 9.75" curve. But just in case, will my loco have any trouble on those curves. I dont plan on going any bigger than 40' with my rolling stock.
2. How should i wire this thing, specifically the area around the turntable? The different colors of track on the plan show my electrical blocks but any advice/fixes will help.

Well thats it for now. Any advice you gus have will be greatly appreciated.
And now im off to go buy rolling stock and other supplies.

oh christ you gotta be kidding me!!!! :curse::curse::curse:

once again change of plans (literally)
i realized that the whole "giant layout under your bed" is a stupid idea. it will end up breaking from being moved around all the time and i cant even pull it out all the way out from under the bed, even if i leave myself no room to walk around.

so for now ignore this thread too. i will get back to the drawing board and sketch up a new plan which will basically be a big shelf running around the walls of my room.
so as not to waste your time i will post any plans and ideas in the track planning section. ONCE i get a plan that i am 100% positive i will build and only after i get started on it will i make a thread here.

sorry guys.ops:

Consolidations will handle 9.75" fine.
