Flexibility
24 January, 2009
As I begin to put together the base units, one thing that keeps coming to mind is another track plan that I like from the proposals I did. This one is based on the Wiscasset Waterfront on the old Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington 2 foot railroad.
(take on Wiscasset)
It's simple and offers quite a lot of operational possibilities. I'd probably use it as a basic branchline end and "transpose" it to somewhere else. It would mean the use of tanked locos rather than ones with seperate tenders (I'd still buld my 2-4-0 though). There's not quite enough room for a turntable - maybe.
My concept for the base unit is for it to be flexible. I could have different layouts and use the same core base. Just make things removable.

Just realized that I've been so busy trying to get stuff looking right spacially that I've ended up with nearly 22 inches width. This is a problem, because my shelf unit is only 15 inches wide. So it's back to the drawing board as 22 inches is too much of an overhang.
