Alien Attitude.
Greetings,
I think I was a member here a few years back, but lost all my information.
I am restarting my layout after a 4 year hiatus during which my train platform has been up with a temporary track laid so the grandson could run his h.o. Thomas.
I am loosely modeling the Great Northern during the postwar period but limitations on my space will make it difficult to run my Empire Builder fully. My layout consists of basically a 10" L X 8' W X 2' u-shaped setup with what will be a couple of lift outs across the end of the U. It will consist of a pair of loops with the outer loop having 28" radius curves and an inner loop with shorter 22" radius and all the switch track and industries that will eventually be on the layout. The outer loop will rise approx. 3-4 inches where I'll have the first lift out bridge.
I am setting this up old school as I just don't yet have funds to upgrade my running gear to digital. One thing I still have to figure out is how to setup separate controllers (I have 2) between the loops and still allow movement between the loops.
