 Aralai,I hope you don´t mind me voicing bluntly my concern over your layout. IMHO, your track plan is just too simple and unrealistic to give you some kind of a satisfaction operating it once you are getting close to finishing it. Building it will be fun and you will learn a lot while doing it. Your layout is doomed to be torn down, because you will get bored after a very short time. Before you start, do a lot of reading. Kalmbach offers a lot of beginner´s books, that will help you to get the right idea. There are many web sites offering good advice and finally, don´t hesitate to post your questions here - the community will be glad to help you. I have seen that steinjr already gave you an answer - he is a wizard when it comes to trackplanning and a fountain of information. You can´t make a mistake learning from him... [:)]From your track plan idea I see that you have plenty of room available.Here is just an idea, what can be done. The HOG is a well designed beginner´s layout, developed by Scott Perry (IIRC). It already combines quite a lot of what you would like to see in your layout.<img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Better20Starter20Layout2051120-20Co.jpg?t=1247634800" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Better20Starter20Layout2051120-20Co.jpg?t=1247634800" width="800" height="770">
