Hello,
I am very new to model railroading, so I need a little help. I want to plan a 4x8 N scale layout with two train operation. I want to run DC to keep it cheaper and simple. My main question is how do I get the Track to run parallel to eachother at the same distance between. I am not a geometry or math wizz so Any help would be appreciated. I can get it to run parallel on the straights, but when it starts to curve it also starts to gap. also I want one or two turnouts to connect the two main lines. One half of the layout I want to be mountainous and the other half a small industrial area with a lumber yard siding. I also plan on adding a staging yard later prbably 1'x2' addition to the 4x8 table. I plan on running mostly kato locomotives and rollling stock (one intermodal train and one coal train). Any thoughts,advice, tips?
Thanks,
-Tim
