Coyote, <br /> <br />I do like the longer run effect you have created. I know you are still tweaking, so can't tell where or how much psace is between each town. Can I recommend, if it hasn't already, though I know someone stated that the engine would be in one town while the end would still be in the previous, measure how long the typical or longest passenger train will be in actual feet, and make sure to allow that much space between each town. I think this way you will achieve a more realistic look when operating. With the cad program you are using, does it allow you to send a train around the layout? If so see what a time factor will be. I couldn't on mine, but once it was completed, I was lucky, and ended up with about 20 minutes of run time until I cam back to the point I started at, this was a proto speeds of about 15-25 mph on my little granger route. Not sure how fast they ran in the desert back then. <br /> <br />But it does look better. Are you killing the RIP to benchwork idea? [:(]
