Entry 3

Loup Creek RR



This design could be done by a total novice laying section track.

The one non Atlas product is the curved radius turn out on the inner main line which is a Peco with an outside radius of 18' and an inside radius of 15"

Advantages are

Simple

Section Track

Double Main lines

Reversing loop

Sky board in the middle makes trains disappear

Loads in empty's out enhances operations

Disadvantages 15" inner track limits access only 4 axle diesels and short hoppers

could be used on the inner main reversing loop

Two hills with a valley in the middle Coal mine on one side power plant on the other OR if western scenery is preferred Ore mine/Steel mill

Other buildings on the back side are builders choice i.e. Walther's background buildings

Gray rectangle could be a passenger platform

If I had more time and better software I would put the mainline crossovers on the radiuses on diagonally opposing corners

This would allow longer trains and a continious running passing siding
