I need to make a landscaping decision shortly before moving on and would like some opinions. You're looking in at both ends 12' wide each. The layout so far is 12'x28' and I will be adding onto 3 sides later for streetcars and industrial sidings. There are 2 other people who have some work in this and they both suggest tunnels at each end to give some kind of illusion that the trains aren't on the same track. These 2 tunnels would be between 3' and 4' long and would cover all 4 tracks at each end. Not being a fan of tunnels I'm looking for suggestions like maybe heavy use of trees for 3 or 4 feet at both ends. There isn't enough room to use buildings. Hindsight maybe I should have built in some elevation changes but I chose not to for my own reasons. Any suggestions ?
The plan is to run 2 trains on each loop of track longest being a 16' passenger train on the outer loop with an 8' passenger train on that same loop. So that's 24" of train on about 75' of track give or take a little.
Thanks
Joe
