I have a 4’x2’ desk I want to build a layout for a big boy. I was thinking something based off a figure 8. I want to do something similar to this desert scene with the bridge over the other track. I found these on YouTube.
This is the layout underneath.
I was also thinking something like this? Or a combo of the 2.
I don’t have room to do a double track section though because the big boy requires 11” curves. A full curve takes up the whole side of the table.
I used the following to make an oval to fit my table.
8 sections of 11” curve
4 sections of 9-3/4 straight
2 sections of 2-7/16 straight
I do want to have a straight piece in front. What I don’t know is what sections I need to get a figure 8? There’s 2 kinds of turn outs. A slight curve and a 6” curve. I.e. 20-241 and 20-203.
I know allot of people use anyrail.com but I don’t have a windows based computer. I’m also not good with geometry lol I don’t know how to calculate the size track pieces I would need to do this.
Any suggestions?
