I have a 4x4 that has a oval fastrack on it. If I butt that to a 4x8 is there enough space to put a four switches there to switch from my 4x8 oval to the 4x4...????????????? Where are ya Moonman??

So, Dougie, have you decided to change the Christmas layout? This exercise usually begins in July.
What are you thinking of doing? Replacing two of the 4 x 4 modules with a 4 x 8?
Is this another layout?
I think Dave (Daz) nailed the concept.
here is a table arrangement that pushes the 4 x 4 into the room

MMmmm.Looks great but will not work for our living room. I have to stay with the "L" to fit the corner. I'm building a Mountain with a circle 031 going through the center. Ski village to be on top. The 4x4 that its built on will have a oval at the base. My question is, on the 4x8 that it butts to, can I do switches to let the train in that oval switch out to the main and back. I'm looking at it and I think I can't because its to short a straight between the turns to butt up two 10" switches to make the change to the main??? I inserted a pic of last year so you can see how it fits. Yeah. I'm late this year for the Big Show..but been so hot here in Tennessee to work in the garage...

DoubleDAZ posted:You didn't say what size curves or how the 4x4 was butted up to the 4x8, so I threw this together as an example using O36 curves and switches. HTH
Hey that would work.....I'll post a picture today of what I have on the 4x4 with the mountain...I have both 036 and 031 to work with. I'll just need to flip that layout design for mine.....Thanks..

The Back track in the mountain is 031 and the front by the switched is 036. 031 is the circle for the mountain track. FYI the foam is glued together, but its not to the board. So I can take it back down to just a flat 4x4..........well after Easter..LOL The carving starts tomorrow..
Moving right along. 
Thanks.......Photos to come as I move through the build...
