sorry i meant a 10ft long section, its been a very long day today at work
yeah sure, i am going to modeling my layout in steam and sadly i cant afford to switch over to dcc just yet and plaing on running about 8/9 trains all together (i would say 5 as mainline engines).
I was thinking having some of the platforms end at the station (basically enough to hold two trains in right hand corner) and having the main lines split into another two platforms (so 3 all together so enough for 6 engines). I have also been considering having a 3rd loop to basically run off into a goods yard on the small part of the L shape (well a their is a section that forms a l that is is two 6x3 with one board having a little bit to fill in the 1ft gap).
anyways i hope thats abit more helpful
