Permanent Layout

well you need two r-loops. One could connect at the elbow in the center front coming out from under the yard. Not sure for the other side yet.

 

A three switch wye (photo attached) would fit where the train is sitting in APLAN. You would have to pass, stop, back through and then proceed in the opposite direction instead of changing direction on the run. But, it would fit compactly with out disturbing the design too much.

 

You want the 3 switch wye? The elevations sort of prevent slipping in two r-loops.

 

also, the height is 5.25, leaving only 4.75" clearance. No scale size stuff.

 

No need to extend it unless you want more layout or yard. That's part of the design.

Can we connect the bottom of the yard and the top of the yard with O36 track if we made it deeper and longer if need be and have siding and whatnot in the middle to keep with the design?



       

I’ll take a look at later.

Nice track plan for the space used.

clever the way you throw in that reversing loop!! way to go

 

Adding the r-loop to the top seems to provide nice continuous running. I modified the yard. Still 12 x 12 outside wall edge. Those were the only changes. Oh yeah, I didn't like the terrain blocking that rear corner.

 

The plan as designed doesn't fit correctly. Fixed that.
