Plans for a new layout

[Johne230]

I just joined the forum earlier this morning. I wrote a small intro in Introduce yourself here

Hello everyone I was into model railroading as a kid Lionel 027 gauge 1950s era. I am now 63 and retired I have been fooling around with N scale for about a year now.still dont no much about the hobby. I built a small layout last winter just to get into the const. & landscaping. I dismantled it it last month and am in the process of expanding a little. I will post in the layout and const. forum some pictures of the old layout and a drawing of what I want to do for a new layout a little later. I am happy to be here and will be looking for help from time to time thank you all.

OK so here are some photos from my first layout.

So here are some pictures of the old layout.

That was the old layout, now I want to try something a little more challanging here is my design so far all constructive criticisim is welcome. One thing any changes will have to occur within the bench as drawn because I dont have any room to expand right now.

Have fun guys.

I think it's looking great so far! The Lumber yard looks kind of hard to get into, though. Any train you want in there would have to fit entirely into the top siding of the Freight yard/station. Also, I am suing the blue line is inclined to get the trains up to the coal mine. Will there be a bridge over the lumber yard lines?

This was a first draft of my new layout some things have changed. Look here!

Holy Crap. I've been following that thread, too. Why did I not notice it was yours? Guess I need to wake up a little bit more, huh?
