Adding siding
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, November 10, 2006 10:59 AM

I would like to add some siding track to my 4x8 layout. I have the WoodLand scenics Grand Valley. I was thinking I could add along the front stretch? Not sure what type of turnout, length of track etc.? Any help or ideas?

Thanks Chris

Remember, as you add siding to the layout, it becomes wider and thus much more difficult to reach to the center.

I would use the same turnouts and track you built the WS layout with.

If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art
