Layout Plan for Mr. Impatient
OK, here we go.
Room size = 13'8"x15'10"
Main Line = 84'
Sidings = 41.2'
Max Elevation = 13.5"
Track elevates at 3.5%
Large Curves = 42"
Small Curves = 31"
One 54" curve below "M" passing siding
3 Bridges
4 Tunnel Portholes
2 Passing Sidings
2 Reversing Crossovers
1 Industrial Siding (you could add more)
Light yellow is 0 elevation.
Dark yellow gives you an idea where the mountains start. I tryed to turn the plan with the compleat elevations into a j-peg, but it was to hard to tell where the track ran so I tones it down.
A = Main down town area.
B = Town dividing reversing track.
C = Siding for industry.
D = Reverse siding, entrance to Yard/Staging area.
E = The wrong side of the tracks, residential area.
F = Yard/Staging area.
G = Passing Sideing.
H = Lower tunnel entrance to helix.
I to J = Track skirts the outside of the mountain.
K = Track emurges from tunnel at its highest elevation and proceeds accross a tressal bridge.
L = Water Fall.
M = Mountain passing siding.
N = Small town.
O = Tressal bridge or track supported on pylons.
P = Mine or Lumber Camp, Town or Wilderness.
Q = Where track comes back to 0 elevation. Town, industry, gravel pit, open up river into lake, logging camp, or whatever.
R = River, to add beauty to the scean, or power to an industry.
S = Smaller gurder bridge.
Arrows and numbers indicate elevation of track at that point.
Layout base is 4 feet wide.
I hope you like the plan. The print-outs have more detail. If you want to build it, I supose I could send them to you. Anyway, I had fun working it out.
An original TrainClown design.
Drawn to scale.
P.S. I had to turn the plan on it's side to get it to post. Don't strain your neck.
