Z Scale track planning ideas

[DKS]

I think I deviated from plan a little here to use a RH turnout... and I think this was the place where one section of curve didn't have a part number.  It seemed to work out OK like this.

You're right, that should have a 912 there. I'll fix it.

Really nice David.  Love the Aberdeen and Rockfish plan.  So many options with that one.

Please enjoy two new plans just added today. They're a bit larger than most in the collection, and have no cut track pieces.

I think you need to toss some Google ads on those pages and make yourself some coin. That's good stuff for small spaces.

Thanks. I especially like how the Chehalis plan came out--it almost looks like it was done with flex.

As for Google ads, I think I'll pass. I like keeping my sites ad-free.

By the way, anyone interested in T Gauge might enjoy my new 1:450 track plan collection: http://www.t-gauge.net/plans.htm

Mr. Smith... any chance you might update these plans with Rokuhan pieces?

I'm working on a whole new series of plans using Rokuhan track. This will, however, take a bit of time, so please be patient.

Great! Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

As for the Rokuhan turn-outs... How soon do you want them for your layout? I'm in Tokyo and I know of a place that has a supply.

That is a most generous offer! I'll take them now. Please PM me with the details.

Incidentally, I've published a Rokuhan Track FAQ.

Answers a lot of questions, such as what are the radii and angles of all the curved pieces, what new products are on the way, etc.

By request, I've added some resources to my track plan collection.

Many of them can be built using Rokuhan track. These are highlighted in the list of plans, and there's a conversion chart so you can figure out what you need.

Also, most of them can be built using Märklin track, and there's a conversion chart for this as well.

BTW, Mike, any further progress on your Z layout?

Thank you, Mr. Smith!  ;D

BTW, Mike, any further progress on your Z layout?

Not so much.  Lots of progress on a bathroom remodel, which led to rewiring most of the upstairs, and led to new oak 6-panel doors everywhere...  It's like pulling a loose thread in a sweater.  Our first child is due in April so things are going to be hectic for awhile.

It's OK though, I'm still beating Chris.
