I would have included a track plan, but alas, the computer crashed a year ago and I lost all the data for my layout. (Along with lots of other stuff) I used all Atlas sectional track and the free Atlas track software which even allowd me to print out a full size template, including building placement! (About 50 or 60 pages) The layout is a basic triple oval, 15, 18 & 22 inch radius, with snap switches interconnecting all lines and spurs, one crossover and a reversing section that goes thru the middle. There was one piece of flex track used to make a couple small sections where sectional track in the right size wasn't available. I had to use a 4% grade to get enough height to clear the lower tracks so one of my spurs could tunnel underneath. Lots of lessons learned, including the "too narrow" roadways. Hard for the semi's to get around the corners! Yes, it will be hard to tear it down. Lots my heart went into it. But hopefully the next layout will have better laid trackwork, fewer design flaws (or at least different ones) and a little more room for the scenery.
