I had the benchwork built and some risers in place and track layed out, but I had doubts about my ability to finish it. This was back in '97 and I was a real newbie to the hobby. I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew, so I walked away for a few months and then abandoned these plans all together.
I started another one that looked really great and the idea was good, but I didn't put it on paper. It was a folded dog bone that got out of hand because I couldn't keep it simple. I had the risers all in place and the yard layed out and it had a switchback and a crossing and it looked good in my mind. Too much for me to tackle thought.
Then I decided I would build a relatively simple layout for my grandkids first to get my teeth wet, then come back to my big layout later.
As you can see on my "layout in progress" pages, the kids Christmas layout became my big layout.
The plans below are what almost came to be. Or at least one of them.
In the upper right corner is the over and under, with the over being the outside track on top of the picture.
Maybe someone else can get use some of the ideas.
The yard sloped down hill.
toward the top right of the pic.
