pendlerail Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Here is my 1st attempt at an anyrail track plan for my next layout, OO guage L shape roughly 9 foot each side. Lower left corner will be a wagon works. With DMU Sidings Stabling point and maintenance shed on the right hand side.

DCB Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 It looks very awkward to operate and difficult to make work scenically. Too many kick backs Running lines right at the back. Tracks crossing a baseboard joint at an angle and a nuisance to say the least. For appearance I would curve the right hand storage sidings round to parallel the main line and avoid the ugly row of buffers at an angle to the tracks. I have that feature and it looks ugly though in my case it was that or lose a couple of wagon lengths in the reception sidings 9 ft is enough for a reasonable minor town terminus in the Minories style and that along the back might be a good starting point.

pendlerail Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thanks, the boards will be permanently placed so not a problem. Agree with moving left had Sidings. Might look into terminus plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMay Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hang on a minute, let's go back a step. Is this to be viewed and operated from the inside? With the top left bit as the FY? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyMay Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I much prefer the idea of having two roads into the layout. It allows one to perform one function, while the other performs an alternative. An additional option would to have the back road and sidings slightly raised, giving different levels. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
