[H0] L-shaped layout project

[Rabοliοt]

Hello Happy Modelers !
New day, new idea. Another L-shaped layout project but I think I might have some problems at these two places (purple circles). All your comments are welcome.

The toughest part about selecting a layout design is to figure out what works for you. Get some snap track and try it out. See if you like it. It's all about personal preference.

What is the radius of the curves? If you make the curves a little tighter (if possible), you can make room for a short straight section of track to help with those reverse curves.

Smallest radius (most of the curves): 17"1/4 The others: 20"1/4

might find some extra inner track ideas here as well

Try placing a short straight section between the reverse curves, and add a straight section on the track opposite it. Even a 10cm straight piece will help greatly in minimizing derailments.

Done !

Just found a better idea (Dimensions 79"1/2 x 79"1/2) !

Getting better!
If you keep playing with it you could get an up and over thing going, easily done with WS risers or the cookie cutter idea!

Raboliot,
There is a modified Peace river layout on the other forum as well, I know you pop in there once a while too....

Yup, if one doesn't curve as far the one way, then one doesn't have to curve as far back the other way.
