While designing my "dream" layout for the basement, I hit a couple snags as far as design goes, and need some advice.
First of all, there are multiple wyes that will be required on my layout, what should the minimum radius be? I would like them to be as small as possible without looking toy-like when trains use them
Second, from the main yard, there will be a pair of small(10' or so) representations of shortlines, however, I want them to be on a second level below the main level. How steep should the grade from the yard down to these other levels be? I would like to model at least one industry on each for operating purposes. How far down from the bottom of the main level should the second level start?
Thanks in advance.
