Looking for 10x16 ft. HO layout feedback from more experienced folks.
I’ve been planning HO layout for my bonus room for quite some time and would like to hear what you think about my layout. I am relatively new to the model railroading and would appreciate some good advice so I don’t have to redo something major later.
I have the following requirements/constrains/wishlist -
1. The room size is ~16x10 ft.
2. I’d like to model in HO
3. I’d like to have two loops so I could run trains with my kid without collisions.
4. Max grade is 2 - 2.5%
5. Min curve radius 22.5” with easements on the main track
6. 2.5” between main tracks
7. Staging area
8. Yard, some branches, bypass track(s)
9. Have a spot to reverse a locomotive
What do you think? Is anything looks obviously wrong? What would you change? I do think it has too much track, but what can I do ?
I am attaching two pictures –
• main with upper level shows the yard
• main with lower level shows two separate staging areas
Thank you,
Slava
