The saga of my ever shrinking railroad

I am sending over to Graypower and he has offered to put photos up of an idea of my area 3 which is similar in size 7.2 m X 3 m (23' 7" X 9' 10") and i am utilising a double dogsbone straight out of "Garden railroading the hobby". It will have 65 m track (not too shabby) and pass over itself several times and be interlinked with the rest of my layout. It will have a climbing ramp and level circle as well as a deviathon and 4 m long viaduct, 2 m tunnel and several cliffs and a crossover track all of which I will do with as few switches as I can. But I must have 5 in the long run, to get into it to get out to area 4 to get into the reversing loop etc and to get from area 2 and 1. <br /> <br />I have not done all this in theory, I have hust worked my way through with a vague idea of what i hoped to achieve and it has changed dramatically along the way, for practical reasons. <br /> <br />photos and layout coming soon and you will see clearly how i am able to transfer plans on paper to a layout in the dirt. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br /> <br />ian
