A simpler plan, no staging

The last months I have done a lot of work with my new modules, but tonight I want to redesign the plans for my permanent layout.

I want to make a more simple trackplan, so the staging yard on level -150 is removed, also the helixes.

This gives a simpler, but still a good trackplan, that will give a lot of action. 3 trains can be run on each of the 3 loops, without any block control, if wanted.

Building my own turnouts

A testbuild of a #6 turnout was a great learning experience. It's not perfect at all, but I will learn and hopefully the turnouts will be good after some more practice. It's fun!

Changed turnouts in yard

The revised and now current plans for the new layout: Select different levels.

The yard-area on level 0 is changed; New scratchbuild curved turnouts will be used. #6, outer radius 400 mm, inner radius 220 mm. The tracks have also been extended.

Expand layout with switching yard

The layout has been expanded with a switching yard and some industrie spurs on lower level.
In this view we have filled up the entire yard with a lot of equipment.

The revised and now current plans for the new layout: Select different levels.

There will be a lot of custombuild curved turnouts in the switching yard.

Plans for new permanent layout
