<p> Hi Stein,</p><p>we had a terrible thunderstorm yesterday evening - so I did not dare to switch on my computer. No major damage in our area, though. The more I look at my plan, the less I start to like the "tangled spaghetti" track work in the middle of it. No railroad would do that - too expensive. I guess I have to do some more research and planning -[sigh]. It´s a challenge...</p><p> </p><p>... which I took up again. After a little research in the internet, I found a homepage with a lot of helpful hints and ideas for shelf layouts. I "borrowed" one of the ideas and transformed it into this:</p><p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/MilwaukeeNorthYard.jpg?t=1242977866" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/MilwaukeeNorthYard.jpg?t=1242977866" width="1022" height="473"></p><p>The track plan is pretty close to the original, just omitting a three-way switch. Does it look familiar, Stein? Hope you don´t mind me "stealing" your idea... [:I]<br></p><p> The track is all Atlas Code 83 flex-track and no.6 super switches, the double slip switch is Peco Code 83.<br></p><p> </p>
