Track Planning

Here is my first attempt at making a track plan
I made it in Xtrkcad.


The Plan is a very rough modification of a plan I found on the Trainboard website.
pachyderm217 is the Trainboard user who's plan I have tried to replicate. His excellent layout can be viewed here along with some great tutorials

The plan has everything I wanted. One thing I really wanted to model was an abandon track. I got the idea from the whiteriverandnorthern.net website made by David K Smith. He really has some great plans and ideas. Here is the abandon track he made which gave me the idea.

I also really like the look of Dave Vollmer's N Scale Juniata Division layout.
Hopefully I can get my layout to look as good as his does. You can check it out here

My next step is to post it in the forums and have people alot more knowledgeable than me take a look at it and pick out the mistakes.
