<p>Well I think I have decided on a layout design. No cross-overs but does allow for two trains to operate independent from each other. </p><p>In the 14x17' space picture a loop that follows the outside demisions. A siding will branch off the eastern end of the Northern 17' section and reconnect again near the western end. I plan on having a tunnell somewhere along the southern 17' run. This will be my passenger line.</p><p>Next an inner loop will be installed that will resemble a figure eight shape but without the bottom circle. It will come back along the northern 17' section running parallel with the spur of the outer loop. I should have 12 to 18" clearance between the two lines. This is where structures of some type will be installed, to look like a railway station. This will be my freight line. </p><p>Both trains can run independent from each other allowing for opposite direction and speed control. They can both pull into the station area and stop to take on the apperance of a busy rail head. Later some additional spurs will be added to the inside loop to create a rail yard.</p><p>I think this will look OK. Looks good on paper anyway. That's my plan at the moment. Subject to change of course. Trying to get some pictures loaded on the computer to show the "cleared" space. Thanks for reading and for any comments or questions...</p><p> SRS</p><p> </p><p> </p>
