I HAVE AN HO LAYOUT TOWN Date mid 1940's, in the country, passenger station, non operating wig wags & <br />Lazor-Activated Operatiing w/sound Crossing Gates & Semaphore signals plus yard-house. <br />It's 10' long x 16" wide 'Point-to-Point' and an Overshoot that, not to Scale hill climing in 4.5' 6" high and curving to the left over my desk extending 4' to a 20" long-Double-Track Brass-hand-built Truss--bridge along <br />w/white-capped-mountain & Trees. The curve is inner passing track 19 degrees & outter main 21 degrees. <br />SD 9 3 truck loco Proto will make the curve thru 2 truck GP's & Switchers & F-units. Alco PA' will jump the tracks due to their Large long wheel-base. Steam engines like my Mountain 4-8-2 will Also do the curve. <br />Small 3 track yard switching into the yard house siding . Passing station yard is several switching tracks <br />short into a Sizzors-Peco Switch from the Main line to the yard/station house and passenger station. <br />I've added street lites and a tunnel from the yard under the mountain for realism, horses & reindeer plus <br />shrubs, trees, fencing , car/trucks & People. I also added 3 Background scenes =9 feet long x 3 foot high from 'INSTANT HORIZONS" company but "FALLER'' company has them too. REALLY HELPS in Prototype! <br />Hope that gives you some insite!
