M-J RailConnect Layout Progress Thread

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I suppose that is a problem with converting it from O scale down to N scale. Not everything fit exactly the way it was supposed to. I suppose what I was doing there was actually trying to fit it into a 3x5' segment, seeings how that is the size of the wood that I will have left after I remove it from my layout at Dad's. I may be able to add another foot, but I'm not sure.

I copied the layout exactly from the way it was designed at the train club with our 3-rail O-gauge track.

Yeah, but 3-rail O-gauge is going to have different geometry from N-scale track. I would figure out how long any of your locomotives and things will be, and see what you can realistically fit on a spur line, and see if it makes sense that way.

I would never assume it still works just because you "scaled it down". O can handle tighter curves for it's scale than the smaller scales.
