Hmmmm. I'll look closely again. However, plan 2 evolved from plan 1. There is far less track in plan 2. As for yards & staging on plan 2: There...
Hey thanks for the thoughts there guys. On scenery: I'm in Australia so I'll be using considerable "modeller's licence" with that. You've got...
Thanks for your thoughts Steve. I guess I'm looking for people to point out any traps or holes in the designs I've missed that could lead to later...
Both plans are N scale and both are folded dog bones to get a good run. Plan 1 has been previously discussed on this board. Ppuin gave a lot of...
