OK, I've been chewing on this for months. Trying to lay out the "city" with the trolley line.
Space is basically 58" by 60" from edge of cork ballast to edge of cork ballast on the lines already laid. Chunks of cardboard etc are footprints of building kits not yet assembled.
My wonderful little powered trolley will handle 15" radius, but the unpowered trolley cars (cheap) won't take anything less than 18", and I'd like to hook one to the powered as a trailer.
Needs to be pretty simple, a single loop? How much space do I need realistically for a "street?"
Layout theme is tourist railroad! A mix of modern and old time buildings, mostly steam locos and vintage rolling stock. Kinda like the D&RG Durango/Silverton.
