I've seen youth sport centers and decided to put one up on my N Scale layout. It has two "little league diamonds and three soccer fields. I "compressed the fields to a size that looks "about right". That is the bases are 30 scale feet apart, and the outfield fence is 90 scale feet down each line. I used a compass to mark the fence line so the fence is a circular segment. This compromise looks proportional (major and minor league has 90 feet between bases and 300 foot fences (avg), so the proportion is roughly 3 to 1), and takes up less space. The soccer fields are 100 scale feet long and 40 scale feet wide. This is compressed, too, but looks proprtional. I used some old building walls in my spare parts bin to build a "clubhouse" for rest rooms, equipment rental, etc.. All I need to do now is build little N Scale bleachers. This compression should also work for HO Scale.
