Over the past few years, I had built a 8 x 18 ft layout inspired by the Iain Rice "Vienna and Carthage" plan which has appeared several times now in books and magazines.   Taking the single town approach, I had built the main section of the layout as a town on the Frisco (SLSF).   My original variation on the plan appears in the MRH Trackplan Database. 

The walls are all painted, part of my bench work is now in so it is doodle time. 

I have tried CAD design for my layouts in the past, but I enjoy doodling ideas.

i have modified that technique by using my template and further modified the process by doodling on plexiglass over top of the scaled drawing.

The plexiglass technique I got from my wife who Doodles on quilts as she designs quilting patterns.

But enough about quilts.

Here are a couple of photos of some doodling.

My latest project is for a new area for switching on the CNW Peninsula Div. This thread will chronicle my progress.

These 3 are the way it looked before the changes.

    I am hoping a more experienced person will be willing to look at my track plan.  I am setting up detection sections which will be used for signaling in the future. I'm not sure if this is correct/accurate when it comes to the sections near the switches.  I wast to be sure before I cut any gaps.  I am not sure if I have too many/not enough or if the sections breaks are to close or far away from the switches. I want to limit my detection sections to 32.  I am using AnyRail.
