I have room on my new layout for a small switching layout. The main layout has several loops that go around the walls, but this portion won't connect to it. I am playing with designs and I am interested in feedback before I lock it in. The layout below maximizes the use of existing RealTrax switches and track that I already own.
The picture below gives you an idea of what the the switching layout will look like in the space that I have open. Eventually this part of the layout will be on a raised platform that rises 16" or so above the main layout. I want to build the switching layout on a raised platform in order to break up my flat tabletop. The track at the bottom left is special section of GarGraves track for my Lionel Gantry Crane.
I have never built a switching layout before, so any and all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
