ScOONs Modular Layout

[Stephen Rainsbury]

I agree with what you are saying, every time we take a layout made from our modules out we need at least an hour before for fettling, a bit more for rehearsing movements including testing out various stock options. We decided some time back that 4 wheel locos are the most resilient over a system like this.
Of course I keep saying that we should al go DCC, but I am a lone voice whistling in the face of a gale :-)

Hi Guys

I came across this on YouTube I'm not sure if this is any help or even beneficial to what you are doing but I like his idea especially with the bridge as the focus of his layout https://youtu.be/jFaK5dlGQUk?si=4uJhScwmoFrnCr7Q

Thanks

Thanks Alan.

The part that caught my attention was the 180 degree curved end. It is very much counting our chickens before they hatch, but we've talked about an L-shaped end piece before to go round a corner on a stand. A U-turn would bring a fiddleyard or staging behind the backscene.
