Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum. I decided to build my first layout as a small switching layout in N scale due to limited space. I've spent some time to design a track plan that fulfils several requirements:
1 fun to operate
2 visually pleasing yet simple
3 a bit prototypical
4 contain a 'hidden inglenook' (for the puzzle)
5 designed for using two switchers
I've been inspired by several small switching track plans, among others the great looking Haston Nomad and Port of LA. My 1x3 foot track plan looks like this:
So I was thinking that the concept would be the end of a branch line somewhere in New England in 60’s. Does anyone have an idea about what industries/merchants would be fitting for the trackplan and New England? Maybe something wood related?
To keep it simple I’ve considered making the branch line serve a warehouse facility. But it would be nice to know about alternatives to this.
So if anybody has comments regarding the track plan and concept, please feel free to enlighten me in my first novice steps into model railroading. All inputs will be highly appreciated!
