New Layout

[ThomasFan247]

Hey guys, I am going to be redoing my layout because I am not satisfied with my recent track plan. The layout dimensions are 5x10. Here is a look



Tell me what you guys think

[Ropley101]

Very good! 

[alex wittman]

very nice, nice track plan, nice design, what kind of track are you planning to use, bachmann or atlas?

Bachmann. I wanted to use atlas, but I can't afford all the track needed (my parents can, but they won't buy it for me ) I have most of the Bachmann track already so I'm just gonna buy the track needed

Well I usually can't offer pointers unless the layout gets started, so all I can say is good luck with the new layout.

[thomasj219]

[ThomasFan247]

Once I get Tidmouth Sheds that will replace the 6 stall atlas shed I have (I will also be getting 2 extra stalls ). I finished the layout weeks ago but forgot about posting pics. I'll hafta wait till I come home from South Carolina :\

I'm sorry for a dumb question, but I'm new here, and pretty much brand new to HO trains.  I just bought a few of the Thomas sets to make a train table for my son and really like the layout shown above.  Looks like it would fit nicely in the space I have.  But, could I ask what specific type of switch tracks are used for the turn outs and the movement from track 1 to track 2?  Also what radius are the curves?

Appreciate the help,
