hey folks, well my baseboards are built! ... just waiting on the dowels coming that i ordered this morning from bromsgrove models! (advice from richard to someone else in here on a baseboard thread!).
this is my dilemma!. in n scale. my baseboards are 3m67cm long and 60.5 cm wide. im looking to model a german ficticious setting, in winter with a mainline station with 6 platforms (4 tracks for waiting trains and 2 passing thru lines). i want long continous runs with probably 2 hidden tracks - so that a train appears to go into a tunnel onto a holding track and a different one emerges from the other end of a tunnel!. im happy to use 2 or even 3 levels of track to enable the long runs and im thinking that a tunnel going into a mountain at each end of the baseboard will be needed. a long figure of 8 type design might give me the running lengths that im looking for as i want to run 8 car passenger trains.
can anyone in here draw potential track plans for me that i can use as - is or adapt to my liking? i have been playing around with the track on my boards and seem to not be getting just quite what i want!.
hope someone might have some ideas and thx for reading!
