QUOTE: Originally posted by kevgos So many people on here say how "unrealistic a continuous loop is" - I beg to differ; there was in MR (don't remember which issue offhand anymore) an article on what I remember was a BN themed layout, and basically it made the point that to look at the route maps of any major carrier, there will be many "loops" (or what could be construed as loops) in its trackplan. Granted, on my CP layout a loop isn't practical (you can't just turn a corner in Vancouver and end up back in Montreal or Toronto), but those are the cases where a point to point really IS necessary for prototypical ops (if that's what you want). In any case, do things YOUR way - that's what our hobby is really all about.
