What do you mean by overview, it’s hard getting a full shot above based on the size?

Something like this (or several photos taken from different locations will do the trick).

Well my plan did not work 22 & 24 curves collide ! Grrrrrrrr

Between two track I usually let 70mm. Mainly because I use track sections.

Have you thought about something like these, I know you use set track, but I find these helpful.

I will try and get some this aft, have errands to run this morning and the layout is a mess right now. Love that L shaped layout as well and used that as an inspiring plan to follow as well.

Looks like it's going to be a nice sized layout, you worked out where all the structures are going yet.
Before I forget, how's the station coming along?

Sorry, but I can't find the dimensions of you layout...Could you (re)post them ? Thanks.

Haven’t touched the station in a bit, moved it out to the garage while Christmas is in the house.
1. Finish track
2. Get some engines upgraded
3. Finish station
4. get the rudder and RC installed into the boat so resin and paint can be finished

Roughly 10’4” square with 2 foot wide harbour

 

[Chrιstιaη]

That's a big one !

Some more pics again Christian,
Here you go, not a lot finished but new curved switches inserted and crossover track started; need another turnout there as well now.
Will hopefully get second track installed and elevated next.

That's really looking good Gary, are you using code 83 track ? I must have missed the post with the ship, looks great.

No, it’s Code 100, trying to keep it as simple as I can for old pie cutter wheels…..etc…..the crossovers aren’t connected as it will be one DC track and one DCC for now. The ship needs rudder and motor installed still, but that will be closer to the spring.

Enjoy the process!

 

[Chrιstιaη]

Nice start. You are many miles ahead of me with your layout. I envy you a bit.

 

[Hawkesburytrain]

Nice work Gary, I like to see work in progress.

Thinking about it, why not connect the two tracks now and use insulation joiners, that way if you decide to go full DCC later you wont need to move/connect any track.

Wow, lots of great posts and fantastic work!
