Objective: Make a layout that can fit a small space and make a fun layout.
Here are some things you need to take note of:
- I have NO idea how industries work, please explain it to me.
- I am only going with O36 track because I think it is best for a beginner like me!
- I don't need to worry about curves because I am only running Lionchief engines!
- I am using Lionel's "Fastrack" system.
- I am trying to go cheap here, I don't want a layout that costs more than $700 (The estimated price of the layout is $492)
- I am not good at "Railroad Vocabulary", It took me a bit to realize what spur track meant.
- I am new to O-Gauge Railroading. (9 months)
- I am using RailModeller 4.1.11 for tracks.
- I am using Paint X for "scenery". (a free drawing software for mac.)
- I don't want anything larger than a 6 x 9 layout.
- The switches are O36.
- I measured the layout, It can fit a 4 x 8 table, so I am prepared to get a table.
- The layout is called "Rangefield Railway 2.0. (RRR)" , Tell me you thoughts about the name!
- That name was based of the neighborhood I lived at, Rangefinder.
- I like to use "Amazon" and my local hobby shop "HobbyTownUSA" for buying train supplies.
- There is some "kink" in the switches, not really worried about it.
- I'm not sure about a Tunnel, I tried adding a tunnel on one of my old layouts:
- For right now, I'm not interested in adding extra accessories.
- I am probably staying with "Fastrack".
- I tried my best to add curvature to the roads in this 4 x 9 Fastrack Plan.
- I added a Inner Passing Loop.
- I'm ok with the sidings, they are long enough for my rolling stock.
- I can only run 1 train at a time, I'm ok with that.
- I do plan on having 2 Lionchief engines.
- I don't want to change to "TMCC" and "LEGACY".
- I noticed there was a track glitch on the track plan, I'm not to worried about it.
I spent a lot of time making this.
Please give feedback, and thank you!
