ahh ok i have something called "spotlight" ill check it out on the weekend , thanks for the tip guys. :)

what sort of store is michaels as i want to find an equivalent in australia for the same reason.

go for it mate, i know exactly what you mean, im throwing round all sorts of ideas aswell. its good to see you moving forward as well , its funny to me how similar the things your doing are to the things im doing to get the garage and layout area ready when we are on the other side of the...

ok again you guys are right , i dont want to be giving up that much space on my layout i guess, ,still the problem remains that i think without a helix i could only rise a maximum of approx 25 inches,i need to think about a way to switch it back on itself a few more times and hide more rurn...

hi guys, galen, the link for those pictures you were looking at above is http://www.modellbahn-schluchsee.de/anlagenbau.htm they are swiss guys writing in german but you can translate using google language tools on the right of the search bar. also i layed down some cardboard at work today...

yeah it wont be easy and it will take awhile to work out but this is definately the sort of thing i want to do,the pictures are taken from some guys in switzerland not me, i just found the website whilst looking up one of those bridges shown in the picture from the walthers catalogue, ive been...

i would love to plan up something like this but rather than the european look id go for an american or canadian sort of scenery. in it i would love to have some sort of coal/mining operation and or logging. i want the coal/mining/freight mainline stuff so i can run diesels and then abit of...

hey guys, i got some pics of these guys in switzerland and i just thought id show them to get some thoughts, basically just to show the elevation thy have on their layout using helixes and stuff and wondering whether you guys think i could achieve this sort of elevation in 16ft x 9 ft?

i gotta go to work but ill write something up tonight to let you know whats in my head. :)

yeah i think u guys are right i better be careful moving forward too fast when im not 100% sure of what im going to be doing yet. i put the last lock on the door in the garage tonight and now all i have to do is move a fridge and a little 2 foot fishtank i use to breed my african cichlids and...

well the door is changed so now i can fit my car on the other side and my layout space is available, that means i can start benchwork this weekend coming only problem is "the plan" is no where near complete :) galen i have ideas but nothing concrete yet ,im debating whether or not to start by...

wow! nice planning , i've got to get my stuff together man , your project is running exact same space as mine and atm same stage of build so its great for me to see your design evolve, i might have to ask you a few questions in the coming weeks/months :) anyways goodnight i had a late one last...

thanks for the replies guys, lovin the input , tommorow i will be swapping the internal garqage door around to swing in to make some more room once thats done im onto the benchwork ,probably looking at starting next weekend.

either way i think this one is cool and would love to make some mods to it to fit it in, maybe i could pinch the aisle AT THE BOTTOM AND MAKE IT JUST A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE AND JUST GET ACCESS FROM AROUND THE OUTSIDE FOR THE REST, ANYWAIGOTTA GO TO WORK. CYAS LATER SORRY FOR CAPS TOO LATE TO FIX ,,

i found this layout and love it, i just wish i could adapt it to my space i think i could probably squeeze out some more room in the garage ,what do you guys think? could it be done? Martins Fork Branch, KY--9'x19' Track Plan Scale: HO Minimum Radius: 27" Minimum Aisle Width: 27" The...

interesting ideas, wish i could see someting tho any chance of a sketch or two? :)

just some info about what i want to do with this space, dcc controlled using flextrack want to have at least one loop on the track at 22" radius curves otherwise probably 20" even possibly 18" radius for the rest. I want elevation across the layout also i was hoping for mountainous...

good stuff galen, its a pleasure to watch you progress as i myself am at the same point of trying to plan a layout in my double garage and i have a similar size to work with , i only wish i had half the knowledge you have on trackplanning as im stuck and dont know what to do, as you said earlier...

hi guys, im back but this time no hanging layouts :) , i took all your advice and i scrapped my hanging layout before i went too far. i've now freed up some available space in the garage. The only problem is that im pulling my hair out trying to work out the best way to use it, I figured if i...

this thread is officially closed, ive been given the go ahead for almost a full half of the garage which equates to a 16 x 8 ft permanent layout, ill be starting a new thread with an accurate drawing of the space i have and im hoping to get a hand with some layout sketches , ill see you guys...
