Planning for a permanent shelf L-layout Marklin C track
Planning for a permanent shelf L-layout Marklin C track
Having fed up with setting up temporary floor layouts due to the shortage of available floor space for decent sized closed-loop layouts, I am planning to build a functional track layout around the two walls around a corner, as a permanent shelf layout.
The scope of the project is in the attached diagram.
My objectives are:
1. Marklin digital with C track (as I already have invested in it)
2. Have a station layout on one side and a scenic layout on the other side.
3. Have the possibility to add a circular loop, maybe two levels, if make sense.
4. Should be able to manage three trains
While I hope to get some ideas from the various layouts in the forum and else-where, I am hoping to get feedback, ideas and suggestions from forum members as I develop my layout.
Will keep sharing the developments on this forum.

Re: Planning for a permanent shelf L-layout Marklin C track
Attached is my first attempt to draw the L-shaped layout to by attached to two walls of the attic at a height of around 1.5 m.
I am avoiding using R1 curves.
Any suggestion or advice for improving the layout would be much appreciated. This is my first attempt.
Thanks
The objective is to run 2-3 trains at a time. Possibility to run the era VI passenger trains like ICE4 or TGV.I am avoiding using R1 curves.
