Layoutitis

Its been noticed in the Waihaorunga workshops that there is a severe lack of a test track to check that the flood of models emanating from its benches actually run well (or at all). The current testing zone allows for a quick run up and back on poorly laid track round a 12" radius curve, which the more prototypically correct models do not like at all.


I've come up with a cunning plan (well, I think its cunning at least) to build a test layout from 2' sections to see if the mini module system will work in real life. By some simple cutting and rearranging using some maths from 30 odd years ago I've come up with a way to make a round layout without too much pain (I'll report on the number of fingers I have after this exercise).



As part of this whole design thingy, I'll like to throw open to the peanut galley a chance to come up with a track plan for the layout. Stipulations are;
-Minimum 20" radius (thanks for the spellcheck Luke).
-As its a modular layout. the track crossing between boards should be on the centerline of each module. However, 2-3 modules may be combined for a scene or station.
-Not too many points as I'm going to attempt hand laying track in code 55.
-If possible a simple sketch of what you think it might look like.
-Submission date 31st of May



So, gentlemen (and gentlewomen), start your crayons. I'm not promissing to build the best, but I would like to see your ideas.

UPDATE: I seem to have neglected the size information. The initial board is 2' by 1', which means that each of the baby modules is about 2' long (give or take a wee bit) The first design was very nice, but would have been a bit tight in places.
