Flyover #1
8'x4'
This layout offers a bit of a departure from the standard oval, and should provide plenty of opportunities for interesting scenic work. I’d envisage either a maze of industrial streets and hard standing (something like the roads around Trafford Park) or a mountainous region with plenty of short freight trains.
The wiring is fairly simple, despite the complicated layout - one power clip at point 'P' is sufficient. Two loops exist, dividing at point 'A' and coming together again at point 'B'. Train 1 is stored on the loop marked '1' when train 2 is running, and train 2 is stored at point '2' while train 1 runs around. Loop 1 is shorter than loop 2, with loop 2 incorporating the 'flyover' part of the track plan. With only short sections of 1st radius track, the layout should be usable by most ready-to-run locomotives.
