Good Evening, Guys! I had an interesting afternoon at my MRR friend´s place. When I arrived he was laying out the track on his layout and ran into some problems. Like many others, he placed the track too close to the wall, leaving no room for a transition between scenery and the backdrop. Moving the track more to the front of the layout did not work out, but we found a way to solve this issue with a combination of walls, arcades and small slopes. Another issue was the track at the station. He wants to re-use his TT, but had the lead to it crossing the main. The station also had too little of a "substance" to justify a TT. This was his plan: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/LotharsAnlage1_zps58011dd0.jpg" alt=" " /> .. and this is what I made out of it, incorporated into his drawing done in MSPaint: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/LotharsAnlage2_zps42c7e9b7.jpg" alt=" " /> The layout is basically a folded dogbone, the theme a branchline somewhere on the German Baltic Sea coast. The TT is still somewhat of an overkill, but it is his layout ... [A]. I am not particularly fond of that switchback in the harbor part of the layout either, but could not persuade him to change that - yet [}:)] I still don´t know what to do with my own layout ideas. Lothar told me to go forward with that plan of mine, but, as I said before, something keeps me from doing it. Chloe - it´s supper time in my neck of the woods - I think I´ll go for a Barry-sized burger with all the works and a JSTL, thank you!
