This is my first layout. Im starting to feel frustrated with it because im unsure if i like how its turning out. As i read more post and learn new things i realize how many mistakes i've made along the way. I have used the wrong kind of foam for sub roadbed, my use of 4 % grades, because of limited space, just look a little to steep. Im not concerned much with prototypical things, but it needs to be halfwayz believeble. The track is just tacked on so far, but im getting to point of thinking that i might salvage the track and rip up the subroadbed and start anew. Opinions are welcomed. <br /> <br />My future plans where for a large hill and tunnle in the middle and having the track bridge over in front of the tunnle portal, the reason for the gap, and for a yard on the right hand side of the layout and an industry on the left. <br /> <br />[IMG]http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g301/gilligan0269/IMG_0135.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g301/gilligan0269/IMG_0134.jpg[/IMG] <br />[IMG]http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g301/gilligan0269/IMG_0133.jpg[/IMG]
