We really don't know how long we will stay at this place either
I'm thinking 5yrs should have enough $$ gained for resale, so I would like to keep all my HO for the future.Ken.
Hopefully a new room.

KenNZRMac Don't say that:

It is fun( still!) and I learn alot of other things: he he he so when it is time to make/design my own layout I'll be well prepared...LOL
eyp it is!!
in fact it goes almost under the mine( the buildings are built on a steep hill....so in/under them there is enough space)
It is possible but it has, I think, to be a small one and the red track at apr. -5 till -9cm can be "hide" by the buildings/ storage of the port..Try to work that idea out this week...
Thanks you like it!

Ken's new layout
Hi Ken
I'll solve the gate problem for you. I don't want you hitting your head and not remembering who you are or any thing.
How wide or narrow does the gate have to be. There's more than one track that crosses it?

That might have to wait till we get to the house and measure up, but thanks for the thought. I'll give you a holla when the time comes.

Hey Jos we could move the green staging tracks -32 closer to the wall making more room in the middle and the left end for a port yard?
Does the -195 mean -19.5 cm?
I'm liking this more and more the longer I study.
Now we have to get this house!!
Ken.
Jos I've been transferring your plan over to Xtrkcad, I'm really taken with the staging loops underneath (I didn't know how to get some reverse loops in there)
I'll see if theres room at the other end for a port coming off the lower green loop bottom left.
Cheers for the plan, Ken.

Hai Ken,
This afternoon I was" busy"too, to get the drawing fixed for you but I am also "fighting with the port and how to cover the other tracks and to make the slopes not to steep. BTW Now I want to know for shure: because you use inches and I use cm. Here comes my question: is 2 cm per meter to much for your engines. Are you driving long trains?. Because I've "designed" it with these measurements: 2cm/m up or down...???= 7 feet/2 inches??

A 2% grade is reasonable even for a small steam layout like mine.

Hello Ken,
Here the results of the last week....
The port, the reverse loop under the coalmine: coming from the turnouts on the bottom in the middle of the scetch.. and a 3D "art impression"uhhum...of the port including an detailed plan as if you cut your layout in 2 pieces...
It is still fun to draw it!
Hope everything's clear?

Thanks Ken and Chip!!
So last but not least: as promised the tracks to the staging yard under the coalmine. In fact it is a giant helix....from -1 cm ,starting at the green star at the right corner at the bottom till -30 cm( about 12 inches)
