Hi everyone, decided to rip up the current layout and redo, my little guy wanted a train yard and a yard he shall have.
I have a 4x10 section of the layout that will be the yard. We run o27 profile rail but, I have access to up to 042 curves/turnouts including 034 Marx, and of course O27.
I have two outside loops, the outside is our mainline loop, and the inside is more of a local loop so we have flexibility there.
Wish list of things:
Switching operations:
Car Storage:
Crane operation (I have both a stationary PW crane, and then a gantry crane)
Engine Shed location (I have the menards one)
Attached is a picture of the broken down section of the layout, as well as a very crude diagram of our current ideas,
I know I am limited in what we can do, but I would love to hear any ideas that you may have about how to pack some stuff into this section, I know it is a small space, but it would make my 8 year hold happy!
Appreciate all of you!
