So, here's my first take at a new layout. After building a whole bunch of HO and N gauge (when I was a kid and teenager), I am giving standard gauge a shot. Actually, I have an O gauge prewar layout in my closet upstairs.I need some feedback on my layout. This software (use the link here) is amazing.
This software really lets you do some great "what if?" scenarios. I've been buying track since I was 10 years old and it was always a hit or miss operation. No more. This software really let's me figure out how much space I need and the exact track bill of materials.
The only thing I am having a little trouble with (and it is more me than the software) is figuring out how to build tunnels. Right next to that big 115 station I am going to plop down a HUGE tunnel. I just can't figure out how to get the darn thing on the layout. I will figure it out and you will see a tunnel!
The other helpful thing is getting an idea of perspective with my accessories. That is hugely helpful with this softare. Two things the software seems to be missing: Leland Detroit Monorails and an easy way to do elevated train lines like 2 7/8. If anyone knows a way.... Please let me know!
Have fun at York!
