Ok gang here is the newest version with a good deal of changes put in based off the good advice that you all have supplied. <br /> <br /><b>Info:</b> <i>The layout is set in Arizona, 1953-54, alongside the AT&SF tracks running parallel with old route 66 in the regions between Holbrook and Flagstaff. <br /> <br />The outside mainline curve radii is 28” inside mainline curve radii is 26”, track centers should be good, leads to Wye curve radii are 26”. <br /> <br />I also decreased some switchbacks, added in run-arounds, lengthened track and added in some more crossovers. <br /> <br />I increased the length and decreased the width of the lift out section (which will hopefully actually be a “roll out” section) <br /> <br />I know the tracks are still parallel to the fascia. I’m still not sure how to solve that and not loose a lot of track but I’m working on it in my head. <br /> <br />No staging and honestly not sure how to add any. Any advice on that would be a god send. <br /> <br />I have applied no grades yet to the over all layout but there will be a few and they will be fairly gently and low, mostly just for visual look. Any advice on this would also be greatly welcomed.</i> <br /> <br />[img]http://mysite.verizon.net/coyote97/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/BedPlan3.jpg[/img] <br />[In case the image won't enlarge you can see it at: http://mysite.verizon.net/coyote97/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/BedPlan3.jpg] <br /> <br />Well that’s all I can think of though I’m sure I’ve left out something *chuckles* <br /> <br />Looking forward to hearing what you all think. <br /> <br />Peace. <br /> <br />Coyote <br />
