I'm continuing to doodle a track plan for a new layout, and am particularly interested in making the plan streetcar-like instead of train-like.
Meaning?
A few things: those tight curves at the ends of the long straight section at the back - the city's main street - will be something like 8" to 10" in radius; the passing sections are based on ones in the old Morecambe Tramway; I'm trying to make it sort of omnivagant with lots of looping. Loops are passé for model railways, but I think they're one of a streetcar layout's defining characteristics, not to mention providing great ambience Mechnical Fish Tank-wise :-)
