I'm looking to build a layout . <br />Size: 2ft X 8ft <br />Type: Point to point logging rail road. <br />era: Steam <br />track: code 100 flex track <br />Industry: River front logging operation with dockside yard and loco service. <br />Motive power: Penn Line K4 4-6-2, Bachman 0-6-0, lifelike dockside 0-4-0 (Hope to add a few Shays and maybe a porter) <br />track plan: NONE ???????? please HELP <br /> <br />I know I want a shunting yard some where around the water front that will serve a small river boat dock . <br />Is it possible to make a 2x8 a multi level layout? <br />Or is there a way that I can give the perseption that the logging train is in the mountains? <br />I may just leave out the mountain for now and do that as an aditional 2 x 8 section making it an L, and leaving me with the bottom end of a logging operation for now. <br /> <br />I've seen so much about designing a layout, its getting overwhelming. I'm half temped to just start laying down track, But I would like to plan ahead and make this work as smooth as possible. <br /> <br />seen any good track plans, or got any good ideas? <br /> <br />thanks <br /> <br />Scott <br /> <br /> <br />
