<p>Hi all, </p><p> First, this is a great resource but I still need some help. Love reading the posts here :)</p><p> </p><p>I have an odd shaped area, well not so odd as a little restricted. It's basically a 21ft x 8ft L shape. I have abilit to have two 4x4 or there abouts "anchors at each end with a 2x2 corner section. Problem is I'm only able to get a 1ft shelf going between the bigger sections. </p><p> this is a freelance design with one 4x4 being the edge of a city on the great lakes, think milwaukee. the other 4x4 section on the end of the short leg of the L will be a nature setting, something like Devils Tower. the corner section will be mountainous, with the long section of the L climbing towards that. I will have at one some point, a modular yard that attaches in towards the city 4x4. </p><p> Thoughts on this, I'm running into a problem where I don't like the lack of sidings available or when I put them in I have no room for anything on the longer runs. </p><p> A lot of typing but I had to get my thoughts somewhere where others could comment. </p><p>BTW, because of the limits on the turn around 4x4 I'm limiting myself to min 18" curves. this will be a fairly modern layout, but I understand I cannot use 6 axle locos on these curves. </p>
