    Those look pretty good. I am not going to build a spur for the elevated to the lower layout i don't think. I am going to build a trolley line however.

    I took my first two layouts down because I needed the space. I have a few model railroading books already; and I subscribe to model railroader.

    Thanks for the good input guys. Mind you; this isn't going to be the most realistic layout ever :) OBVIOUSLY . When I thought of this layout; I knew i wanted two things. I wanted a completely elevated track and I wanted the ability to run four or five main lines. I elevated it so high...

    Thanks for the good input guys. I am actually doing a 4-5 % grade. The spur will be much longer than on the drawing. I just did that in paint as I was headed out the door; just was to give you guys an idea of what I was doing.

    HI guys. This is what I have done so far. I want to get started on the spurs to connect the elevated ovals to the lower

    Pretty much. I did a simple setup. This is my old layout during construction and minus the turn table.

    and it's not THAT high. I was just testing with a block of wood. I cut a bunch of 4 inch dowels to support it.

    Well. I just started / finished my table last night. Has to fit on a 4x8 So a 24" diameter oval will fit? The outer ovals will be 6 inches elevated so I don't mind if it has to hang off the side a little bit.

    Good Morning guys. I am just starting my third HO 4x8 Layout. I wanted to ask; is a 24" diameter outer oval too wide for a 4x8? I think the largest I've had was 22" I would like to have two elevated outer 24" and 22" ovals. What do you think?
