New(old) Layout from 101 track plans

I saw an interesting article in MR a while back where the author of the story took an old John Armstrong track plan, that happened to be a classic once around circle layout, and cut the track plan right down the middle. He then re-assembled the plan into an around the wall layout that was in keeping with more modern day track planning. It still has a continous loop effect, but provided an opportunity to switch. The loop portion actually goes out of site and below to provide hidden staging if you choose. It then re-appears on the other end. <br /> <br />If you are interested, I could go home and dig out my information. I have it all stashed away. I just completed building half of this track plan this winter. I love the operational interest it provides, and the old continous loop so I can watch the diesels blast by! <br />
