OK, not really, just another FIRST-TIMER N-scale track layout. Any suggestions/commets are welcome (email me directly if ya want - nscale_lover@yahoo)It's a 6 x 4.5 foot layout on a foam base (2 layers of 2" and 1 layer of 1/2"). I'll never use plywood again unless I have to! I love this stuff.
There are 2 main lines (outer runs) and a cargo line with a basic figure-8. The main lines are connected - from inner to outer via simple switch, and outer to inner via up-and-over. That up-and-over shares the same incline as the cargo line incline. See the pics, it'll make more sense if you see it.
Lots of inclines (both up and down) will hopefully make this layout just a bit different from your typical "flat" layouts. A "topographical" picture overlay (to come shortly) will show the rises and dips. Only 2 and 3-degree inclines (Woodland Scenics) are being used to hopefully make the inclines a bit realistic.
I have to upload the pics to my website, so if they're not up today, check back tomorrow.
