[quote user="ChessieFan13"] <p>thanks guys this has helped the bug.............</p><p>went to the library and got a pile of books. one of the books is walk around model railroad trackplans by don mitchell. it was model railroas handbook 29. in the book there is a plan called bekin united rr. built using two 8'x2'6"x1' sections. its got a double main, a given switching , given and a yard, given , its a shelf point to point that could be connected to another module, but i im gonna use that as one corner of the layout and go fronm there. gonna use xtrcad and work a plan and post that. thanks for getting the juices flowing.</p><p> </p><p>jw</p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>That one will be a very good starting point.</p><p>You need to think at least 28 inches radius. If you are in the modern era, there are large high cube 89 foot boxes and very big autoracks. If you have the room (Looks like you do) to swing such large equiptment then you should not ever worry about anything availible in the hobby except Brass engines built protoypically and require huge radius to work.</p>
