    Hi to all,

    Attached is my whole layout. On the right side is my old layout which Atlas N-18 Gulf summit and on the left is my new expansion table which is 8x4. I did have to modify N-18 to make a new route to the new expansion which is higher by 2" due to the foam on the table.

    I am using Unitracks on the new expansion.

    Any comments, recommendation, suggestion would be deeply appreciated.

    Thank to all for your help and support.

    Hi

    Couple of questions.

    Which direction do you operate this from?
    Why the need for so many loops that connect back to where they come from?
    Wouldn't such a large expansion make better use of a longer single track run then connecting to the old layout rather than the false impression of double track main round-and-round?

    cheers dave

    Probably 2 loops to many on the new layout.

    I see a lot of doubletrack. And yes, too many loops. I should get rid of some loops and try to connect both layout halves in a more natural manner. I should also brake up some of the doubletrack.
