Well.... The time has come for me to once again dismantle the layout, this one was much better because I finally got it to run reliably, but it was still too big of a project for me to work on.
I thought this time before planning a layout I would give a list of "G's and D's" :
Givens and Druthers
Southern Pacific
Scale: HO
Gauge: Standard
Prototype: Freelanced Southern Pacific industrial spur
Era: Semi-Modern (1970-1990)
Region: West Coast (Northern California or Oregon)
Railroad: Southern Pacific
Space: 12x4 feet (I have room for more but decided to limit myself)
Governing Rolling Stock: 60" Bulkhead Flat
Relative Emphasis: (move the V)
|______________________V_______________________|
Track/Operation .................................................. ..Scenic realism
|___________________________________V__________|
Mainline Running .................................................. ........ Switching
Notes:
I will be taking down old benchwork, 2 feet wide HCDs were just too much work to fill with scenery, etc...
I would prefer as few turnouts as possible, and easy track arrangement
Preferred industries: Metal company, food distributor, team track.
Track is Peco code 100 Large radius turnouts and Atlas code 100 flex-track
