Started using the MTH track planning software and came up with the following plan as a start. The layout size is 16' Wide and 8' deep. The back of the layout will butt up against a wall and I'll have 2' of clearance on each side with the front of the layout having no restrictions but want to leave it at 8' deep. The red rectangle is where Ill lave a lifting section with hinge. The green box is an open area with the intention of giving me access to parts of the layout without compromising large radius curves. The outer curve is 072 and the inner is 054. I really don't want to jam the layout with a bunch of track because I would I like to add buildings. How would you recommend I add to this layout so that I can incorporate operating accessories such as oil drum loader, milk car and other classic trackside accessories? or would you change it up totally. I welcome your thoughts!
Thanks
