Old Track Layout
Posted by boneheadbassboy on Sunday, July 2, 2006 12:08 PM
Does anyone remember an old track layout that was just one continuous ran-on with no switches I think it had a couple of 90degree turns and a 45 degree in it
If so does anyone know where I can get a plan of it

boneheadbassboy: there was such an article in the March, 2005, issue of CTT. It's on p.77 written by Arthur O'Connor.

Very creative piece of track work. I landed up using a variation of it on my 2005 Christmas layou and it really worked well - making it SEEM that trains were changing direction.

You may also try the Lionel homepage as I believe they have a similar layout there. I used it to make a 0-27 layout to test some old trains.
