hello all, i am in the middle of creating the Great Eastern Trunk layout in HO scale and im haveing some troubles. the track plan i have is out of a 1958 Atlas Track Planning book. i have all the right track and correct # switches and radius curves. i have layed the complete thing several times, but it never turns out like the diagram depicts. its always short or out of alignment, no in between. does anyone have or know where i could find a newer version of the plan, or is it just supposed to be this way? the book says the spaceing in curves and straights should be 1 1/8 from end of one tie to end of tie next to it. i cant see how this is. any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. thanks! <br />[:)] <br /> <br /> steve
