That makes me feel better then. I even used the atlas plans and atlas software and it came out larger than the drawn plan. I found a nice little yard in 101 track plans, it was drawn 3 3/4' x 18" Mine was almost 5' long and over 30" wide. I dug out all of my old track. I may lay it out...

I just click in the window at the bottom that says "write reply's here"? I have been busy working on the room, getting junk moved out and ready to go to either donations, friends or the dump. Made a bit of progess. Trying to rearrange the bench for best usage of space. Moved all the...

You are correct about the ottumwa central being more about ops. Yet, if you pulled it away from the wall a bit, let the loop at the south end, the one around the diesel service buildings, go back up along the wall, it would make a full pass around the layout before going to the lower level. I...

In N scale, it is 7 feet by 7 feet. If I put the curve around lake lumber in the corner, then extend the leg of the layout to the right, for the full length of the wall, 13 feet, that adds 5 feet, it would be in the closet, that still leaves me with 4 feet of open closet. If I pulled the curve...

It sounds like I have a ton of space, on the top I have 8 feet, long wall is 13 feet, then a short narrow 6 feet but 30 inch wide. Just enough for a turn around with 14", 14.5". Might be batter to make it a yard or industry area? If I extended the Ft Edward/Tupper Lakes end down , I could...

The one looks like it has a real reach problem, but in N scale, it is not that bad. But I was thinking 36" is the limit this old man can reach without a anti grav lift. I did see one in "101 More track plans", a narrow shelf. I would rearrange it so it is a single level shelf. I could...

My post seems to have disappeared? I have really been studing track plans from 101 track plans. I was only looking at the main lines, now I have really looked at the other parts, branch lines, yards, sidings, how the tracks are laid out to service a business or 2. I tried to draw them in...

I don't see many toppings on that pizza layout? Bet the dough is a might bit hard to chew too. I an debating weather to buy the lic for anyrail? I was going to start a new design, using the area I have, build just the switching area, industries and such, copy it into the full layout. I think...

I have been in, out, in, out, out, in, more out than in. As I was let go on the 2nd, been looking at things to keep my mind going and things to keep me busy. I have thought about tearing out the back room, it used to be my work space and play space, one side had my work laptop, dual monitors...
