Thats a nine inch radious curve going into the "Y" on the 7" leg. There are 9", 10" and 12", basicly, aside from the swoops on the flex track. Most of the curves have easements. Tileguy, I like your alteration to the plan. I will add this to my design and add the pic later. TrainClown ;)

Hi ajroland, :wave: I just love to fool around with track plans, and space constraints make it more fun. I don't know if I got what you wanted, but I had fun doing it. Perhaps there is a few ideas here you can use. :rolleyes: TrainClown :wave:

Sure Charles. Sounds like fun. ;) ript73- Sorry I didn't add the mountains, but I don't have the time right now. It sonds like you are all set to go, and all you needed was a direction. I'm glad you like the plan. Any questions, just ask.:rolleyes: As for me. Summer stuff taking all...

;) Glad to have a scratch. :thumb: TrainClown :wave:

Here is a better view of the port. This water line was drawn in about 30 seconds and you could make it much more interesting with a possible stream entering it, giving your trains some bridges to cross. The shore could be longer too, giving you way more detail along the coastline. Well, there...

Here is the yard. It has a run-around track and lots of room for a station.

This engine's cab is right under the upper track, so you can see the clearance.

The grades are all 2.5% and this is what the grade looks like from the side.

Here is a 3D view of the layout. This is to scale and was created with 3rd PlanIt, so this is what she would look like.

Howdy again, This here is a variation on the ol' "Dog Bone" design. You can see the waterfront on the left, could be a river or the sea, that details up to you. This lends to some fun building some ship models for your port. Could be a busy place with a fish packing plant and a terminal for...

Hello there, I just gots to have a go at designing you a track plan. I sees a space and I gits all itchyfied.:eek: ;) Give me a day or so and I'll come up with something fer yer eyes to gander at.:rolleyes: Always thinkin' :confused: :sleeping: TrainClown :wave:

Real Cool! Wish I was there. TrainClown ;)

Real Cool ! Can I rent a room for my pet mouse? TrainClown ;)

A fine looking construction but isn't it going to make the other engineers jealous? ;) Watch out for that wood construction! You'll want to give up card stock altogether. (And what's wrong with that?? :D ) TrainClown

I'm glad to see you haven't dropped off the face of the earth. ;) Neither have I. :D TrainClown

CalFlash, I dig the challenge of the hand laid track. Great satisfaction. Interesting point about the tie plates, I will have to give that some thought. TrainClown ;)

Take a look at this web site. http://members.shaw.ca/sask.rail/construction/lsbuild/lstrack.html TrainClown ;)

Val, that's an interesting photo. Now for me, modeling a logging operation, I plan to hand lay most of the track and make my own ties. I'm not worried about the actual dimension of the ties. I figure whatever came off the saw the day they laid the ties was the dimension it was and this works for...

Just superb, Robin! Your models look so perfect that they make the train in front of them look plastic! I can see the bandsaw was the right tool for you. TrainClown ;)

Let me put on my boots! ;) TrainClown
