[quote]QUOTE: is it going to be looped or one way back and fourth[/quote] <br />[quote]QUOTE: there will be a 4x4 section added to the top left where the main runs off the table to provide continous running.[/quote] <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: the bottom piece of the layout has alot of sidings like you plan on putting something there <br />[/quote] Of course I plan on putting something there- it's my <i>industrial park</i>. The buildings on the bottom will be background buildings to save space. <br /> <br />The layout will end up about 49" high. Turnouts not witin easy reach will be remote-controlled. Also, the yard and shops will run off a power pack on the side of the layout opposite the operators pit (top of the plan) so whoever is working the yard can reach the turnouts easier. The main and spurs and wye (everything but the yard and shops) will be run off a power pack in the <i>operators pit</i>. There will be a section at each end of the yard lead / arrival / departure track that can be run from either power pack. A train can come in and stop on this section and if I am the only operator I'll go over to the p-p that runs the yard and bring the train in, cut off the engines, yada yada yada...
