Reply to "Top 10 'Must Haves' for a club layout"

Lee WillisOGR Forum Member

I'm not sure its just for club layouts. This is what I think a layout should have, club or otherwise, in the order I prioritized for mine.

A town with a nice variety of buildings, traffic, pedestrains
Some open country side with interesting terrain
At least one loop with 72" or larger curves
At least one long (the longest possible) straight section, entirely viewable from a single viewing point.
Water: a port, a lake, a river - more than one.
A nice train station(s0
A trainyard with control tower, coaling tower, etc.
A turntable
A large roundhouse
A big bridge

My layout is only big enough to get 1 - 6 and I had to forego 7 - 10, although I'm trying to squeeze a bridge (#10) in - it just won't be but about 34" long.
