Hi Jon,
Sounds interesting!
Just a couple of quick questions:
1) Are you talking HO or N scale for your society layout?
2) Are there specific scenes that the Society would want modelled, or do we
pick anything
from the TH&B website?
3) How accurate does the tack arrangement have to be in comparison to the
survey maps?
4) What are your rough dimensions for size and weight (specifically what are
you going to move it in?)
5) What would be an acceptable train length for the display/layout?
Thanks,
Jeff Hatcher
In a smaller scale like N, you might even get a reversing loop in a
2-foot
wide drop-leaf so you could have continuous running. The tight
radius needed probably would not look too good, but keep in mind that
what's on the drop leaf need only be functional and not scenicked.
The double-scene layout would make an excellent island layout -- it
would be ideal for operating and viewing from both sides. I think it
would make for an impressive display or exhibition layout.
Would anyone out there be interested in sketching a workable track
plan for such a layout? If anyone comes up with something, let us
know and I'll post it on the SLD website.
Thanks -- Jon Piasecki
