Concept

I had a number of design concepts in my mind given the space available was 27’ x 21’6” (8.23m x 6.55m) in the double garage

I wanted to achieve the following:

• Oil refinery.
• Iron ore mine.
• Hidden staging.
• A couple of regional towns.
• The ability to turn a complete train.
• A area with a valley & ridges.
• Access to a helix to get to the lower level.
• Visitors to be able to watch two trains circulating on the upper level.

I wanted to avoid:

• Small and medium radius turnouts on the mainline.
• Narrow isles.
• Electrical DCC bus runs of greater than nine metres.
