This morning I completed the layout. I decided against making a three dimensional layout for my first track because I’m more interested in automating it all right now.
The layout has an outside “express” track and three inside tracks which share one line at one end. There are a lot of double turnouts and one triple turnout. The gaps in the track at the ends are because I have a trial version of the software and can’t put more than 50 objects into the plan.
This is version 1.1 of the layout. Version 1.0 used radius 3 track on the inner track at the right hand side and an insulfrog turnout, but I want to use electrofrog on all the points so I had to redesign it. Not sure why there are differences in the track between the two but there are – took me a couple of hours to get it all to fit again.
The track has started going down on the table and tomorrow I hope to make a start on wiring up the bus.
