soooooooooooo gang hate to be a pain ....but may have to redesign my 2 track layout :( My "L" shape layout.... so a good miminum radius with Atlas cars (engine + 5 = 6max)...is...???

OK...Charles....... again..I am not sure on the radius thing..... wonder what yours looks like??........ Don't worry..wouldn't copy it.....want my own anyways!!!! :thumb: btw>>32" deep....and want 2 levels of track..... I guess I could overlap with the top track and the bottom going under.

thanx Tills .... 'still' UNSURE about the radius thing... do you measure that from the mid-track to the other mid-track at the bend?

umtrr-author ...... ok....I may regret a few things down the road (as alot have) but I am not worried about scaling this to a 'T' ... not worried about matching cars..........with the right era..per say once this is up and final.....I will not have anyone come over to judge it..nor does any of...

OK...heres what I want to do.......... the 3" spaces are for the ONE (upper) track...oval or circle... which I will need a slight incline before coming around to the 2nd level simple.......this will be my second train set anyways. **My main track will below which will take most of my table up...

Are you saying ..to get the caboose ....to match the engine? I may be painting the engine anyways !!!!...as in black !! but thanx for the thought !!!! (I wish I had a list of rollingstock...trains for that matter; in its "era")

To clarify: the 3" spaces are for the ONE (upper) track...oval or circle...simple which will be my second train set. My main track below will below which will take most of my table up strictly on ground level. something like this..... All I am worried about is the TURNS (radius) on both!!!!!!!

lol I know..Lynn I knew you were thinking HO...in a few posts to me..thats ok kiddo actually my bad :oops: on that quick elevation I did up.. should be like this

I did this quick elevation (side view) up?? Is the 4" width...wide enough for a track and roadbed?

ok....risers...no problem..... now ..for the roadbed.. is 2" width 1/4" thick plywood big enough to put on these risers???

Thanx 'railohio' ....... One small thing I forgot to mention with my opening topic...... these so called 'raisers'..........are NOT gonna be seen ....sign1 my bad !!!....... I need these lifts just to 'raise' the track...then they'll be covered!!

lol ....I don't know where I get 1/2 of these pictures :mrgreen: lol just using it to show you the 'idea' ........ ummm Lynn ...(can I call you Lynn?) wouldn't mind doing my own ......'raisers' ...or whatever you call them .... the 2" cutout is a good idea for the track and I probably will use...

I need some elevation on my second track and preparing it on my board. I've seen styrofoam, wood, etc...used for it before the track goes down. Finding the best and cheapest way !! :confused: btw>> what are these things called...?.... sign1

Ok.....plunged!!! Got my first N scale loco .....DCC installed at only $60 .... now...hope I got it for a steal and that it is NOT worth that amount ...lol:wave:

Thanx Gang ... you guys are the greatest........ :) Its been really tough in making decisions about any of this as so many of you have different (yet similar) ideas and thoughts which didn't help me as a new n-scaler....... its great when I get the go ahead from one of you !!!! ........lol...

I have NO track what so ever...of course I'll have to get some..... OHHH.. I have plunged...its on its way.......Atlas Flex track code 55 ...lol

Ok..this may sound silly to you PROS …lol but can't I just buy a good lot of flex track and lay it on the board as I go????? (you know…like we used to do when we were kids) I "DO" have an idea what I want….:thumb:

guys...I don't understand WHY I should get sectional track if I want the simplicities of a 'flex' track (code55)...is there something I'm missin' by buying just flex track???...and again....... is there a difference in 'flex' track and 'SUPER' flex track?

Right on Tills !!:thumb: .....thanx

SOOOOOOOOO ......anddddddddd........whats wrong with that?????
