[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Texas Zepher</i> <br />Ok after the description of your space, and knowing you want to see your SuperChief run, I came up with this general shape for a single deck layout that fits in 17x16 and does not have a duck under. That leaves a three feet wide isle on two sides to get to the washer dryer, work bench, window, and door. <br /> <br />It only has six "scenes" instead of eight. If you like the overall concept then you can start figuring out which scenes would be just scenery and which would have towns or industries. <br />[img]http://www.walkersquawker.net/images/17by16small.jpg[/img] <br />The real stinger here is that except for the track from Glorieta to Albuquerque all the Santa Fe track along your choosen route would be double track. Double tracking this plan might make it look too crowded. I'll work on a generic dog-bone to simulate the double track and see if you like that better. <br /> <br />As usual let me know if this is the direction you want to head or if you were totally thinking of something else. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />T Z, <br /> <br />Holy [censored]! <br /> <br />Sir, I am without words. In all honesty right now I'm shocked by the depth of kindness and friendship you have shown a total stranger by producing this. I can not express my thanks enough. The Trackplan issue has been one that has left me so lost and frustrated that outside of stealing others work.. something I was loathe to do.. I had considered putting off my venture into the hobby. At this moment though I am touched and awed. [bow] <br /> <br />Yes Sir that is a wonderful design, although I will admit to you truthfully that I do not completly understand it all, I think I see a bridge there perhaps? <br /> <br />I was considering having to limit myself to only 5 'scenes', the OL and I had come up with that in the last few days, so 6 would be incredible, Sir! [:O][wow] <br /> <br />As to double track, yes I was aware of that fact and had thought about simply laying double track side by side... However I would love to look at your dog bone design... I would be honored to look at anything you, in your graciousness, pass onto me. <br /> <br />Please excuse my lateness in response, been away from the forums during the OL's PT. <br /> <br />Again thank you! <br /> <br />Currently Floored... [:O][:O][:O][:O][bow] <br /> <br />Coyote <br />
