Hi everyone I was wondering if someone can help make me a 8x8 lionel fasttrack layout. I want the out side track to be o-72 so I can run some big trains.I would also like their to be a rail yard. I also want to be able to run 2 or 3 trains on the layout and I want their to be a lot of action on the layout so I don't get bored.

Thanks

Not to sound rude, but it would be nice if you put a little work into it too, as opposed to just asking everyone else to do the creative work for you; that might be why you haven't gotten any bites.

 

Plus, you're asking for a lot on a square layout.  072 is a 6ft diameter curve, which gives you less than 2' of straight between the corners when you factor in spacing.  Then you want a yard and a lot of action, plus 2 or 3 trains?  Mmmm, you may want to rethink your space or lower your expectations.  I suppose if you do an 072 square and then fill the middle with 031 curves then you can fit a couple things. 

 

You'd be much better off starting with at least a diagram or something that you came up with yourself, and requested help with tweaks.  Personally I think it's nice to see some effort on the part of the layout owner.
