"Track plan madness"

[TrainsRMe1]

Hi Gang,

  I have a question for you, I have this track plan that I put together,it's Nscale 17'x 19' I think it looks pretty good, It's a around the walls with two peninsulas, at each end it will have a reversable loop, it's locale is in the Oregon coast mountains, but I see other track plans that seem to look just as good if not better, and I always try to find ways to add a piece here or there from each one, should I just go from what I have OR just start all over???

It would be easier for us to give you advice if you posted a copy of your track plan.

 It is always fun to start with a clean sheet of paper...

Then when you are done, you have two good track plans to choose from!

Operations!  Ask yourself...

• What am I trying to achieve in train operations for my specific goals, prototype inspiration, era modeled, etc.?

• Do the alternative trackplans achieve my goals more effectively to satisfy my operational needs?

Many modelers use portions of other trackplans and combine them into their overall trackplan.  For example:  N Scale CR&T is converting MR's HO Scale "The Chippewa Central", but; it will only be 1/3 of the total trackage, and only on CR&T's lower layout level.
