So... I love the Finger Lakes Railway, because, trains, finger lakes, yeah. 2 of my favorite things!
I sort of... Kind of.... designed a prototype of a t-trak layout around it.
This design is conservative in nature though, because the straights (except the yards) are all doubles.
Most of these modules will be bigger than double, or multiple segments instead of a double module by itself.
So... Bigger.
Impossible? Maybe?
Expensive? YUP.
Awesome? ALSO YUP.
So enjoy this image of the beginning of an abomination.
This layout, if constructed in this image would be... 57ft long and 37ft wide... Big.
But, seriously, imagine how awesome this would be! Long as hell runs, cohesive landscaping, portability (sorta)
I feel like this would be super fun to operate, it would have at least 2 yard jobs, 5 local jobs, and countless through trains as well.
Some artistic license will be exercised because it would be really cool to run amtrak through the finger lakes, so i included a "csx racetrack" that comes from solvay, to ?lyons? then to sodus i guess, because lighthouse. then back down through the entire layout, and back to solvay.
Also, to mention, this would basically be considered a single track mainline, because of the single modules with turnaround loops. so that means it would take a VERY long time for a single train, if not diverted by crossovers to get to certain areas, to get all the way around the layout.
Maybe someday.
I'm going to go lay down.
