Hello Forum. I'm building my first real layout now and I have a lot of questions. Previously I had just been running my American Flyer collection on a bare tabletop. Now Im building an SP&S inspired layout, keep in mind that the only space I have is in my room on a 6' by 4' table. 1) Mainline, the mainline is going to be a simple loop. Im using Code 100 Atlas Flextrack. The question here are the sidings and a small yard I have planned, would a turnout in Code 100 with trasitioners to Code 83 work best? 2) Industry. Here is my big question, I obviously cant have large industrys but I want something that would be on the prototype (SP&S). 3) Yard. How close together should the tracks be? Close enough that the cork roadbed pieces are touching? 4) Siding. For the siding would it be just two turnouts from the mainline and a piece of track in between? Thank you for the help! P.S I would have posted this in the layout forum, but the General Disscusion recives much more traffic.
