Version 1? (ok its actually about version 8, but hey!)
This is what im currently thinking of building. A number of reasons...it gives me:
1) A very long continuous run, OR
2) The ability to just leave two trains running figure 8's on opposite sides of the garden
3) a reverse loop
The longer of the two figure 8's is give or take 60 ft long. The shorter figure 8 the other side is about 45ft (so I can stagger them, due to the width of the garden)
All curves are 10ft dia or greater (although some of the points will be Piko R5)
The bottom half of the plan is stage 1, upper part is stage 2.
Ive swapped the upper a lower routes on the bottom figure 8, to give me an accessible station / passing loop that is on the level.
Other than that, can you guys see any glaring errors / ommissions / potential issues?
