Hi All,
My layout is now four months into construction and I'm about 2/3's of the way with the benchwork. Its an uneven U shape, 23' x 8'. The track plan is about 90% fixed, I might move a few things to accomodate train length and for clearance purposes.
The layout at a glance:
Linear shelf
Walk around
Switching layout
HO Scale
1976 era
Santa Fe in Lubbock county, Texas (South Plains)
Atlas code 83 flex track
#6 turnouts
24" min curve radius
Digitrax DCC system
Car card and waybill system
Designed for 3 operators, possible 4th can be accomodated.
The layout is designed and built for operation.
Based on David Barrow's construction methods, modular with modules being 18" wide by 48" in length. There's 8 of them with two special corner modules, 36" by 24" with a cut out.
One operator will work the small yard and the other two will perform switching of the two small towns.
Here's a link to the track plan: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FP8QuRko7aw/SZ430kKKFAI/AAAAAAAAADE/cbY4N2DH1PQ/s1600-h/layout.gif Click the plan for a larger size version.
