Well guys and gals I took to heart some of the fine advice I was given by Ed, Selector, TZ, ereimer, and of course SpaceMouse, who put my mind on the right track, all puns intended [:D] Please sound back with any and all opinions, criticisms, advice.. any things at all.. as a greenhorn I can use any and all help that anyone cares to offer. I'm open to any level of redesign. First here is the basic info: <ul><li>Time frame is betweem 1954 and 1955.</li> <li>Location is running between Flagstaff Arizona and Holbrook Arizona.</li> <li>Ho Scale layout.</li> <li>#6 Turnouts.</li> <li>Minimum curve radii is 24" but in most areas is 25" for inside curves and 28" for outside curves.</li> <li>Minimum S curve straightaway is 12".</li> <li>Distance between rails in most places is 3" (this was arrived at by adding in a bit of extra space for conservative leeway as per John Armstrongs recomendations.)</li> <li>The Minimum reach area has been measured as 30"</li> <li>The Crosshatched areas are unreachable areas.</li> <li>Minimum clearance of isles inside the layout is c 30"</li> <li>The thick blue lines are double sided backdrops.</li> <li> The long strench of track from A-1to A-6 leads from the layout to the built in worktable (not shown) to move trains off the layout for maintance, etc. (Sorta silly idea but read about in MR and loved it.)</li> <li> The 'bottleneck' at N-21 to N-22 is a recreation of the prototype "bottleneck" bridge crossing at Canyon Diablo.</li></ul> That's all I can think of off the top of my head, if I've missed any needed info let me know. Here is the pic of the layout plan, it will expand if you click on it. (My apologies for how big it pops up to.. wanted to make sure any and all details could be seen.)
