Model rail layout to Trainz.

[cascaderailroad]

This is presently a 1 x 3 Trainz baseboard grid, in Full size scale, which is 720m x 2160m

a 1 x 3 Trainz baseboard grid is @ 0.447 miles wide x 1.34 miles long

I thing the radius is just short of a 1000' radius (300m)

This would not fit inside a house !

Here is a preliminary test route: :UK N Scale Layout": https://www.cubby.com/pl/New+Folder+(2)/_db4e39f7e7514426919050cc58e54cf2

I elaborated on it quite a bit, and made all track lay in the intended direction tat a UK Left Hand running rule would use (so signals would not need to be flipped).

Sadly I made it upside down, but I could make a US version, with a Right Hand running rule.

Looks great Cascade. I think I'll do 2 versions, one winter and one summer.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Did all the track, station platforms, station canopy's, switch levers, buildings, all show up with no problems ?

I could swap in MP Rusty for the sidings, or convert it all to Bullhead, or broad gauge, track.

Are the tracks Left and running rule as you requested ?

What signals are you planning to use ? UK semaphores ?

At 60 mph a train takes amost 3 minutes to run a lap around the layout.

It's allot bigger than N Scale, as it is full scale, and takes up an entire 1 x 3 Trainz baseboards

Yes, everything show's up. Not got UK semaphores, so will have to look for something suitable.

I've got a model train layout plan that I would like to use as a route.

I was thinking of using the plan as a template and placing track etc, etc.

Is there anyway I can get the plan in to Trainz?

Thanks for any help.

Craig.

Take a look at my posts here and here.
