Track plans
Posted by smcgill on Thursday, October 2, 2008 12:25 PM

Is there a place to lookup trackplans or post them?

 Sean's rr" border="0" /> Photobucket" border="0" />

Just took USA's 20' circle and cut in half and put 30' of track inbetween.

There are 4 Aristo x-wide turnouts etc.

Hi,  Track plans are ok but you need to cut your cloth to suit your taste,     Lie of the land are you building on a slope, more than one level. gradiant not more than 2% over 50 feet. Some people take the garden hose pull it around the garden kick a few curves in it that will give you an idea what the track will look like. Once your first track is down and your running then its time to set out for exspanionSmile [:)]     Hope this helps
