gnairn23 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I put the track down in a room that's roughly 9 foot by 9 foot. So quite alot of space. Definitely a lot more than the starter loop you get on a train set. Edited December 3, 2020 by gnairn23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted December 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2020 If you're not certain it will be long enough, get hold of a couple of extra R601 straights in advance. They are not too expensive, and they'll always come in handy one day anyway, and will give you an extra foot or so of length. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnairn23 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 yeah I bought 6 double straights a month ago in order to Make the layout longer, so I have the track and the space, just to see now if I can place the gradients correctly and make it go over the bridge and back down again.

The piers have been disguised with cork. Also this one in the 1980 Hornby catalogue: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnairn23 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I wonder what it might be like to have a large loft with a layout going all the way round the walls, there must be so much to model and scenic that the project is basically never finished. Maybe one day I'll get room like this but for now you have to do what you can do and that is impermanent layouts on the kitchen floor! The amount of joy you get from that is just the same feeling as a having that massive loft railway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerluk Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Hello, very interesting thread. I probably will used these supports very soon for a "toy-layout". gnairn23 could you post a few photos of your layout using these R909 ? Thanks.
