This is amazing! It is really what I want!!!

Thank you so much!!!! Do you think is possible to fit this to my space?

Really cool!

Possible yes but is there a minimum radius you are willing to go down to to make it fit and/or I have a few mods in mind that would still make it ok operationally/running-wise for a coal-themed railroad with 4-axle diesels,

Phil, if I understood correctly (I am sorry, but some times my english is limited...), I can answer you that I have no minimum radius restriction, so if you have something in mind, I'll be very happy to see it.

Thanks again.

Minimum radius is 28. Track is Peco 55.

David, thanks for you great help.

Can you tell me what size of turnouts are you using with this plan?

I can see a curved on the right...

Yes, one curved on the right; the rest are all 123mm. Other sizes can be substituted, if necessary.

Luis,
Don't get bogged down in the planning. Build something!

Thanks for the support!

Hi all.

Lon time since my last update. I wasn't in the mood for modelling, but something changed and now I am back in business So layed down sime foam subroadbed, some WS roadbed and the track. all his was glued using "no more nails" glue. Loved the stuff. First time using it.

I'll show some photos tomorrow. Still learning how to use  my new  Android  based tablet pc, so....

I went with David's version of the plan Spookshow used.

Ancious to run my first train there...

I am curious abiut one thing: Should I use some kind of light signals? Don't know nothing about this...

Best regards.
