@andy b posted:A few details about the track plan:
- The concentric squiggles are mountains.
- The boxes attached to the mountains represent tunnel portals.
- The boxes labeled "Operating Accessory" are going to be used for some operating accessory- which one it will be is unclear. They may also rotate from time to time.
- The black tracks are going to be set about 6.5 inches above the orange ones.
- The plan is drawn using Lionel FasTrack- minimum curve O48.
- The switches are approximated.
- One square on the graph paper equals 6 inches.
- The strange-looking yard is John Allen's timesaver.
- The strange peninsula is an alcove at the bottom of the basement steps. The idea is to use it for staging. The angled section near the peninsula is the only entrance to the room. The intended method of entry is a duck under.
It looks nice and fun but I'm not a fan of elevated Fast Track. It'll be noisy and ballast doesn't float in the air in real life. JMO.
