N Scale Entry 1Appalachian Central
 This plan is based heavily on Model Railroader's project railroad "The Appalachian Central" which was published in the January and February 2000 issues. I took that plan and increased the minimum radius, double tracked the main, and switched the staging around. I also swapped out some of the industries. There is no prototype for this layout, but it is based on CSX's coal operations in the Tennessee/Kentucky U.S.A. area. Modern 6 axel locos are used to haul coal on the mainline, while smaller 4 axel locos are used on the branch line. Layout specs: Size: 6.5' x 8' Scale: N Minimum radius: 15" mainline, 12.5" branch line Maximum grade: 2% Minimum turnout: #7 mainline, #5 branch line |
