Description
Here is what ScrewySqrl says about his layout project:
"This is a 3x5 track plan I have been working on for a while. The idea is for both an interesting continuous running and have available randomized operations as well.
The colors: blue - main line; cyan - main line in tunnel; light blue - runaround track; grey - industries; purple – interchange; yellow – yard.
Grades are a slightly steep 3%, but maximum train length is a road switcher engine (like an Alco RS-series or GE 4-axles) and 7 cars, so it should be easily doable. Main line is an impressive 1.54 scale miles. Minimum radius is 9.75 inches"
