Pictures of The Nomad Valley R.R.

I hope this works. The buildings are all paperstock for now, just to give me ideas of placement and space. Track is all atlas code 100 on cork. I didn't use foam, gluing everything down seems to permenant to me. I still have a lot of ties to fill in, that were cut out from a older layout, when I tried using magnets(which I am glad to get rid of). As always, comments are welcome.

The first one is looking into the room. The second one is the right side.

 

[Nomad]

The third one should be the middle section, and the last one the left side. Hope you like.

Sure hope your bed is built well, that would be a disaster if it collapsed!!!:cry: :cry:

I like it. A fair amount of running space and switching potenial. I've got the same atlas turntable. If you're going to run a steamer, make one of your enginehouse tracks so you can run right across the TT without having to turn it. That's what I have to do with my Hudson.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Good idea Glen, I am hoping to have room for a roundhouse, so that would work great. But, my curves are pretty tight, so I doubt if I can run anything that big.

Great start to what is shaping up to be a VERY nice and enjoyable layout.

 

[Nomad]

CCT70, thanks for the nice comment. This is the third layout I have built in the last year because I get kicked out of the area I am using, I am tired of building, I want to run trains, not power tools, so I hope to keep this one for quite a while. Thanks to all the help I got here with the track plan, I really enjoy operating it.

Just how tight are they? I have a hidden 19" radius curve in a tunnel and my IHC Hudson negatiates it every time. All of my other curves are 22" or larger.

 

[Nomad]

Glen, my minium was supposed to be 18". But------------ I went to a 16" on one siding.
Loren

 

[Glen Haasdyk]

Where are the 18" curves? The loops look bigger than that to me but my eyes could be playing tricks.

 

[Nomad]

Glen, both 18"s are on the left table. The inside upper curve and the runaround track.
