5X15 Fastrack Layout

Could you please post the Anyrail file for this layout.  I real like your designs.  As I have been mulling over your L shaped layout I was impressed with it now you come up with another desigh that sparks my interest.  Again this desigh fits the space that I have in my house.

Thanks.

Macaroni, glad you like this layout, and the other design.   Thanks!   Here is the AnyRail file.   I would be interested in any variations that you come up with.

ken,

I really like the bow-tie shape...you can do a lot of variations from it. I was going to comment that someone with 5' for width doesn't usually have 15' for length.

Macaroni invalidated that assumption.

ACE has done some nice designs with this approach using O27 and Marx O34 for tight areas. In the Atlas track plans online, their New "York" layout is what they take to shows. (i.e.; York Fall meet) It uses this concept.

Thanks again for posting the AnyRail file.  I real appreciate the posting.  Your designs are just great for us guys who don't have a lot of room for a large layout.  I will examine the layout.  Thanks again.

This plan evolved out of a discussion here on the forum.   It has an interesting track layout with route variations, return loops, and a "grand tour" route that goes through the crossing in the middle near the station.   The outside route is O-60 with O-72 easements.   The inside route is O-48 minimum.  Comments and suggestions very welcome!

Very nice ideas.  I was planning a 5x20 with similar elements but the crossover with curves in the middle is genius.  I will have to rethink my plan

VERY NICE KEN

I like it!  I hope to start on a 5x16 layout soon and this will offer some guidance.

Good luck on your layout!   Thanks for the great comments!

Slightly revised terrain version.

Ken...Thanks very much for posting the AnyRail file for this design. I have the demo version and have started working with the program and your file. I am new to Fastrack and will take a look at that product. I am very interested in building this design for year round use. Current layout is 072 Lionel PW table Christmas Train/Snow Village display up two months per year.

Is there a command in AnyRail that identifies what actual track item you used? Is that how you came up with your track/turnout list?

Ken,

   Great layout , I am going to use part of it when we get into my new home if you do not mind.  I really like your Engineering Concept.

Great, sorry to leave you hanging on the list of track items, I overlooked your request, glad you found it from within AnyRail.
