From a modeling perspective you can model these stub ends
as abandoned lines or as modern light rail expansion into the
next phase. The return loop goes up a slight hill revealing a
town center with a park and fountain in the middle and winds
its way back around. In straight DC mode, after the initial
build, you could easily operate two vehicles simultaneously in
different directions, adding to the fun. We also provide for a
yard expansion that has four tracks. All are long enough to hold
modern era light rail Vehicles, including the five-carbody length
currently being produced by Halling in Europe.
Turning radius was a big consideration in the design. We looked
at several alternatives and radii but, ultimately chose the mini-
mum 8” for two primary reasons.
