Well, now that I've finished philosophizing,
I hope you have a better idea of what I'm hoping to accomplish with this
track plan. It provides a high degree of flexibility, whether standard
double-track mainline or single-track Free-mo. It meets all of the
criteria I established when starting on this venture and, at the same time,
can be an interesting integral part of our HOTRAK setups. It provides
for easy straight-through running with lots of flexibility for trains to
pass each other, along with some interesting switching - regardless of
your level of experience - without blocking the mainline for too long.
So, let me know what you think. Oh, by the way,
Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will these two modules. I
will, however, be looking for some help. Maybe I'll bring them to
a couple of our meets and call upon the expertise of our members with track
laying, ballasting and sceniking.
