[quote user="vsmith"]<div>Heres Elizabeths plan I worked out using an R1 template</div><div>-</div><div><a href="http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/vsmith/Busby%20Study%20Model2.pdf">http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/vsmith/Busby%20Study%20Model2.pdf</a></div><div>-</div><div>Bit tighter than the sketch would lead one to believe. And that been my experience and the lessons learned from my trails and travails in small layout planning. At this small scale of layout planning it become very critical to design at actual full size, so you know how much area an R1 switch takes up and what size make up peices you likely need. Its the only way to make sure the area given will accomodate the desired track plan and still have room for buildings , scenery, etc.</div><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Hello Vic,</p><p> </p><p>The layout plan  posted for the 2.3 by 2.3m space is actually planned in 1:1.  </p><p>As our techie/designer tells me each Millimeter equals exacty one Millimeter when drawn. Our experience has been that many of  the layout planning softwares are not accurate enough for our purposes. Some of those inaccuracies show in you drawing. In order to get the required accuracy we use CADrail.</p><p>Cadrail allows you to select one millimeter as the basic unit and everything fits perfectly that way. When things fit and align perfectly - including the make-up pieces -  one can easily use the CADrail drawings to construct any type of layout from small Z-scale to the largest "G" design.</p><p> </p> <p>Best regards</p> <p> </p> <p>ER <br /> </p> <p> </p>
