<p>[quote user=""JaBear""]</p> <p>Gidday Sir, saw you float the idea in "Elliots Diner". Have never worked with N gauge so don't feel qualified to comment on radius etc but having seen photos of your modules, I am looking forward to photos of this. Just as a thought, by extending the "front" track that goes under the highway overpass to the left hand edge of the layout, would there be any advantage, for yourself to be able to"plug in" your mini modules as "scenic cassettes" for extra operation?</p> <p>Cheers, The Bear.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Yup, that´s the idea! There will be a connector on the right side, which I have not yet incorporated into the drawing.</p> <p>An 11" radius (the inner loop" is not that big, equaling about 20 1/2 " in HO scale, but Japanese N scale trains have truck mounted couplers, so at least they work. Cars are also fairly short. Would not be able to run a Big Boy through those curves, though [swg]</p> <p>Richhotrain - no chance for going up in height for a second deck. The layout will be stored in a corner of my room with a sloped ceiling, so there is a limitation.</p>
