Masonjar: Now you've done it... I showed that layout to my wife and she thought it was real nice, so much so that she said to run the layout round the room. When I said about the door, she just said "well you can move the door so it opens outwards". Flextrak and a hacksaw are going to be simple...

It would appear I have a lot to learn here... I thought my layout was fairly simple. :confused: I mean, take out the sidings and storage yards and it's just 4 loops isn't it? The return loop forms part of the local line. Any suggestions as to how I would keep that yet lose the loop. Should I...

Jetrock: I always think of lines in pairs because that's how they run over here in the UK. As a result it's either 2 or 4 and 2 just wouldn't have enough going on. It possibly is a lot but it keeps the layout busy which is what I like to see. engineshop: I could honestly sit for hours just...

Phew, loads of stuff here to process, I'll try and answer in turn. MasonJar: My main goal in building my layout was to get several trains running at the same time. The idea behind the two mains was that I can put 2 moderate trains and let them run and not see them in a particular area for a...

Ah right, you mean so that as a train passes from one section to the other, it doesn't change direction because of the reversed feeds? I'll have a good look at the wiring threads, I want to make sure that I get that part of it right, thanks for the info. Livesteam: I wish it was bigger...

So if I created say 5 sections, does that mean that I would run 5 feeds to the track (1 to each section) instead of just the one? I don't know much about how the electrics work at the moment but I suspect that the output from the twin-centre won't be enough for the whole layout so I am going...

That would be great if you could move it for me, thanks Matthyro... sorry about that... I'm just a bit giddy from all this train lark, can't think straight sometimes. I feel a bit like a kid and I'd have to swap the numbers in my age round to get close to being one :D

Brilliant, thanks Will. Oops, just noticed that there is a section on this forum for this kind of thread. First post and I'm gonna get in trouble for posting in the wrong area... not a good start. :oops:

That could actually be my downfall :( ... I suspect that I may have overestimated the spaces and might not have as much room as I think I have. I'll just have to see and adapt as I go. I quite like the layout of the track though so I might have to sacrifice some scenery perhaps. I could do with...

Hi peeps, I know you've seen hundreds of "This is my first layout, help me" type posts but really, any advice or suggestions here would be much appreciated. I am about 2 weeks into my starting building an N Gauge layout and after getting a couple of locos and some rolling stock, I am about...
