<{POST_SNAPBACK}>draw out trackplan full size on something like lining wallpaper......points, etc for size.....see if you like it, or even, does it all really fit?
maybe play around with some card boxes for structures,etc?
stand a train or two on on the plan?
It can be amazing how different a scale plan can look full size......
hi alastairq,
thx for yr reply, my plans are to scale and are printed out on 2 x a4 sheets of paper so i can see it all fits on the boards, and im taking your advice and now laying the tracks loosely onto the boards (for the 1st level to start with) to see how it looks and especially to see if a 7/8 car train can fit onto the lengths iv allowed for the platforms!. great advice thx!.
i hope i like what i see ... ill take some piccies so u guys can see what its going to look like too!
(ps - iv found some peco 55 n gauge electro-frog points brand new ( 4 in their original boxes with instructions and 4 loose ) in my big box of tracks!. id luv to find someone who'd like to either buy them or swop them for some fleischmann electro-frog points! - so if anyone reading this knows anyone - drop me/them a line!)
