[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SpaceMouse</i> <br /><br />Okay, <br /> <br />I think the first challenge will be getting the 30" radius curves. IF you get creative you can do it. Remember you can round the edges of the layout and you can go down to 24" in the aisles as long as you leave your operating areas wide. <br /> <br />The second challenge will be laying out your cities. Look for ways to create scenes in which if you are working one scene, you don't see another. Also, as Dave said, watch your train lengths so that you don't park in one and still be hanging out in another station. <br /> <br />After that it will be locating industrial sidings, yards and staging. <br /> <br />But start with the radii. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Chip, I'd love to have 30" curve radii but I think its a pipe dream [V]... 24" wide isles are going to be too small for the OL and I.. I have 27" radii in must place but yes my inside curves are 24" here is where I am at as of tonight. <br /> <br />[img]http://mysite.verizon.net/coyote97/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Plan 2.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />Although I liked the diagonal isle but I dropped it to gain some space. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />P.S. Did you happen to get the mail I dropped you Sir? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Peace. <br /> <br />Coyote
