Intermodal terminal layout
Posted by iomtt on Thursday, January 24, 2008 6:17 AM

Hi  All,

I have  a  small  layout  already  in  N scale  6ft x 2ft and  would like  to   either  add  or  make  another intermodal terminal on a 4ft x 2ft  board i  am  restricted for space living  in  a  flat and  so  would  like  some ideas  or  plans  for  the  terminal to  include  a  crane  like  the  big  Heljan HO/OO  one  but  in N scale  of  course i  have  the  walthers hi  jack  container  crane  but  want  something  more  "beefy"  for  the  layout it  doesnt  have to  work  neccesarily.    

Also are  there  any  reachstackers  out  there  in  N scale ?

Hi all, 

I've  had  a  rethink  for  the  layout  and  now i  can   make  it   2ft6'' wide  and  a  run  of   7ft  with  another   board  at  a  right  angle   6ft  long  so  it  is  in  an  L  shape, does  this  help  any of  you  suggest  a  layout  plan ?
