Harrietwood

I took the step to do away with my old layout and start a new version recycling much of the track, scenics etc
I am very limited in what I can do as I only have a spare bedroom some 2.46 by 2.04 metres (ie 8" x 6"8' roughly).

My previous layoput was a tail-chaser with secnery disguises to break up the view. I know my grandson likes the tail chaser and I would be better off building a shunting layout that can go in the car when I visit my family in Bexhill.

The layout is named after two of my three grandchilren, ie Harriet and Woody. Now, I have to find a way to include the name of the third, Ruby Elaine.

So, I have gone for a tail chaser with an inverted figure eight shape, rising and falling gradients to a laser cut bowstring bridge as the fulcrum. This gives the locos a longer runthrough lap.



This my basic plan using Peco Setrack for major curves, streamline flexible straights etc plus Streamline points.
