[quote user="Vail and Southwestern RR"][quote user="Alan_B"][quote user="Vail and Southwestern RR"] <p>Well, he has a UP and an SF loco, so that narrows it down a bit. I'm thinking Spanish, but I haven't thought what, maybe Tortilla Flats. A little bit of a play on words, or maybe I'm just hungry....</p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Let's shoot for southern Colorado; both operated there. Time period is 1970.</p><p>How about the plywood track plan? Any comment (including looks OK ) is acceptable.</p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I think it looks good. I assume the turnout angles and track spacing are right. The only thing I would consider would be adding a passing track, maybe across the back, in case you wanted a clockwise train and a counterclockwise train. Or even two in the same direction.</p><p>Town name: Alan's Mesa</p><p>(or maybe your last name?)</p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Thanks. The pencil line layout was done with actual turnouts in place and the spacing is correct. No room for a passing track. The narrow part is 8" in order to keep me from hitting my head in case I sit up in bed. I figure that by the time that I start really operating this layout that a little switching will be enough to keep me happy. I am using the whole open wall section so that I can have a long loop to let me just watch a train run.</p><p>Thanks for the name suggestion; still not it though. My German last name would be out of place ( Bierbaum).</p><p>Since it will be operated as a junction (Santa Fe switcher and UP road engine); I may just call it Suzi's Junction (My daughter is nicknamed Suzi).</p><p> </p>
