Looking for ideas on layout of HO track. I have a J shape space where the top of the J is 4x5 the long leg of J is 2x24 feet and then the bottom of the J where it heads back up is 4x13. I'd like to model Steam some diesel so early 1950's. I would free lance the scenery with mountains, town, industry, etc. in areas where they "fit". More interested in continuous running than operational and switching, etc. I have a dual Powerpak and would like to be able to run 3 trains at once without a lot of manual operations. Do not want a completely flat layout as I 'd think it would be a bit boring. Looking for track configurations, the books out there are not a lot of help when planning to a specific space. Also what's the best way to power ? Should I have one mainline dedicated to one side of the powerpack or is there a better way to manage the power to the track in what I'm trying to do. Still think I need it bigger with my "trackitis" mentality ! Help
