Final Layout design - N Scale

Hi again

Well I think I have what I'm looking for, gone for a much simpler design and yet still getting all the operations I want from the layout design

Here are a few pictures, I'm still not sure about the yard, comments welcome on this.

Here is Module A, the Coal Mine, I could add more but I think I will add trucks and equipment rather than more track. I may move the fuel track closer to the building so the hill can be closer and have more scenery impact with trees to match the backdrop.

Another track design

Hi all

 

Here is another plan that I have been working on, getting the design right must be the hardest part of any track build "LOL"

​This is the top level

Comments welcome

The Central California Traction Company in S scale

  After much consideration and input from MRH readers I decided to proceed with the CCT in S scale so I thought a new thread would be easier to follow. Anyone interested in the thoughts and suggests relating to the choice can search up my previous CCT threads. Here's a concept track plan subject to fine tuning as the track is laid out and viewed on the benchwork.

Show 'em if you got'em............works in progress to finished projects.

Birdsboro & Reading ex-PRR N8 cabooses.

I want to build a Large Cement Plant. Looking for suggestions.

I model N scale. I have the Corner stone HO Valley Cement Kit. I plan on converting it into an N scale plant by changing the doors and windows.Replacing ladders,stairs, But keeping the building size to reflect the size plant down in Southern California. I have a 4 foot square area to place the plant. But may only us two foot square area to build it. I also have the silos and support building i may need for this projects. My other hope is to switch in and out 30 to 60 two bay cement cars, Tool parts cars, Coal, aggregate, Sand, to be taken it to support the plant.

SNE - joining the foam core together

I have spent the day today connecting everything together. I have planned out the new layout. This has been amply discussed on the Model Railroader Magazine Forum.

 

need some layout tips for a noob

ok so my original layout was going to be a standard oval with some track on the inside to create a small factory with a small rail yard. the left half of the inside of the layout would be a small town the right half would be factory/industrial. below is a pic of how the layout looks now.
