Good evening! After numerous hours looking through the internet, reading through the OGR digital archive..Im still struggling with coming up with the track plan. Ive been using the MTH software as a way to capture my ideas (knowing I would have to make tweaks based on a different track system). So I'm asking for help! The actual table footprint will be 8x20. With no access on the sides or from the back just the front (basically butted up to the walls) I can go smaller to gain access from all sides but I was imagining an O or U shaped layout where the front of the layout would probably be the widest since Ill have access from the front as well as the other side in an O shaped layout. I was hoping to run 2 trains without loading the table with track as I would like to have room for things such as small town, a farm, an Area 51 Top Secret Area. Im also imagining a small dedicated area for Lionel operating accessories such as a milk car, lumber loader, oil drum loader. I was also considering limiting the number of switches and using Gargraves preformed radius or Menards track. Your help and thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Sunrise
