DJ Dangerous Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 What sort of radius are the two loops? I was thinking that this may have been a solution but was struggling to judge the space. Is there an upper level track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second and third radius, the room is 2.5 meters wide, it's all on one level. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabhal Luimnigh Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Lots more readjustment on the layout today, I need a second bridge so I need to bring the viaduct out towards the edge and put a second more modern bridge behind it, I am using an old Hornby suspension jobby that I have to butcher and turn into a double bridge, plenty cutting, gluing and filling to be done but here's the progress so far... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabhal Luimnigh Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Some major excavation work to be done tomorrow to accommodate the new bridge and extra lines, probably have to blast the hills and get some serious plant hire in The viaduct will need more support underneath but that's not a problem. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
