Finally moving up in the world of model railroading - literally and figuratively. After years of a temporary layout on the floor, I've started fabricating and assembling benchwork and building a permanent layout using GarGraves track and switches. May move to Ross switches, but my local train store is a GarGraves dealer and I can buy locally.
The outside loops is a modified dog bone, 24 feet long and 84 inches wide at the widest spot and 60 inches at the narrowest. Could go wider, but wanted to be able to walk around the entire table.
Attached is a layout using AnyRail that shows concentric loops and a very rough plan for a small yard on the southeast corner basically to see what can fit in the space. The data file has been included.
Not looking to build an intricate operating railroad, but long loops surrounding a downtown area and small industrial area with sidings servicing some warehouses, freight stations, and similar types of businesses.
IF possible, I'd like to have a reversing loop on the inside loop and long sidings on both loops capable of holding a small train. My biggest concern is trying to do too much.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
