Chris's Big Layout

[Colbert]

So I'm...

 

[Colbert]

I'm thinking about adding a third track to my amazing layout, but I have four problems (red circles). All your ideas are welcome. As usual, you can also laugh !

Christian: Ya, good job! Try a few triangles fitted into the corners. Don't need much.
Also, something else for you to think about. If you are going counter clockwise on the outside track, you can bump down to the middle track, but can not get to the inside track. Ya, the reverse is true also - need more turnouts!

Very good idea. Thanks !
I had the same idea and I tried it. Looks it will work fine.

Christian: Ya, good job!

Thanks !

Looking at your track plan the gaps on the corners would be under the center of a section. Maybe you could get away with doing nothing.

I'm getting old and worn down, less work is always better in my manual.

Either way Christian, I enjoy your work, thank you for sharing!

Or in Mike's case two, one for him and one for the wife.

I agree that it might be fine if you did nothing, Chris but I like it better the way you did it

Thanks !

How did I do it ? A photo explains it better than me:

Now these triangular pieces of wood need a coat of my favorite paint. I ordered a bottle of Liquitex Raw Sienna as well as several sections of straight track.

The laying of the third track has started (a little...).

Hey, any progress is good progress!

Your doing way better than me!
