Well, I hope to have a final design drafted soon, I have some vacation time coming up mid-October and I want to use that time to get a great start on my first serious layout.
This is a 4' X 8' plan made in RTS. I'm still learning XtrkCAD, and I have seen the benifits, but it takes me 5 times as long to make a plan.
A few things: The brownish area is a mountain which the track will run under, and will be the only side that will be up against a wall. I will have plenty enough room on the remaining 3 sides to get to anything I might need. The squares represent random industries and such that are yet undecided, and the black lines represent scenery divisions. I may eliminate one of the 'U-turns' in favor of a small town to the right of the middle loop, but we'll see once I get some track laid.
Any advice is welcome!!
