Garden Railway Forum

After 10 years, it took some courage to redesign the railway layout. I have been planning for many years, but no time to make it realization. In the past, the elevated system was separated from the ground level, two trains could run separately. But I rarely have two trains running at the same time. Further, the elevated layout has a narrow turn; it can accommodate small locomotives.
I combined the elevated and ground levels into one single loop in this new layout. It's quite challenging for a small space for this design, but after all, I could make the curves as large as 8ft. This is a test run; not very smooth yet, but encouraging.

I like that - it looks a lot of fun... I particularly like that big bridge...

Great job - the track, trains and buildings all fit into the garden wonderfully. As Andrew said - the bridge is very impressive.

Looking good. I see you've now linked the upper and lower tracks. Must make it a lot more fun to operate.
