Railroad Track Plan April 9, 2008

Posted by railroadman in Trackwork.

I have been meaning to redraft the final track plan but time has not been on my side so I am posting images of my rough work.  It does the job and is to scale but isn’t 100% pretty.  The first image here shows Gainesville at the top center with the 6 track off line fiddle yard to the left and Clifton at the end of the branch line to the right.  The lower middle shows a scrapped concept of Woodshill and the east end of Gainesville.  I have reversed the entrance to the industry where the grade will be more leveled off and repositioned the branch line track work to allow a nice tressel bridge and an additional rock portal.  This area is where the mountain range I have just recently finished.

This next image is the other side of the layout room showing Stone Valley and its yard tracks.  Walton can be seen in the upper left and Holden should be on the right hand side but is not shown on the draft copy as I added it after I confirmed I had enough scenery room to support it visually.

I have started working on the spline work, roadbed and laying ties up the branch line from Holden to Walton and to Clifton.  I will be doing a post shortly showing my spline techniques.

Thanks again for reading and happy railroading.

The plan looks great, watching it take shape will be very kool.

I need you to contact me, i can send that now.

Thanks for the comment. The plans take time to accurately produce but result in a better more trouble free railroad.
Thanks again
