Layout Info:
Layout Size: Since my layout is spread out over several rooms, it's easier to measure its size in square feet. That said, the layout will be approximately 400 sq. feet. If you we're to put all the sections together, that would equate to roughly a 20'x20' table.
Layout Style: Prototypical operation, fictional setting.
Layout Theme: A modern themed diesel powered layout. The majority of the layout will be set in the southeast United States. The bottom left back room will be the "Colorado" room and will have a more western look and feel. My description of the theme will get more detailed as the layout comes together.
Track: Atlas O 3-Rail track, switches and turntables.
Command systems: MTH DCS and Lionel TMCC.
Power: At present, 3 180-watt Lionel Powerhouse bricks, 1 100-watt MTH Z-1000 brick.
Minimum radius curve: O-63 (Only in the yard)
Most commonly used curve: O-72
Maximum radius curve: O-90
Height: Main level is 47 inches off the floor. 2nd level is 58 inches off the floor.
Layout Track Plan
Here's a computer trackplan for the layout. This trackplan has been slightly altered in certain places as I've started to lay track, but you can get a general idea of the plan. Click on the photo below to view the full size image.
Dark Green Lines = Table outline
