Also, the layout has already been built and you are correct, i am using 18" radius turns.  I wish i could post a picture on here so you guys could see it, it wont let me.
Upload your photos to photobucket or flickr or a similar image/video hosting site, they are free. Then link to them here.

hopefully you can see the picture from this link showing the layout and one of my crossovers from outer to inner loop.  was certainly fun building and creating.  look forward to much more design work too

That is an excellent layout so far.

some other sound equipped locomotived to consider:

atlas alco c420.

atlas emd gp38 or gp40

broadway limited sw7 or nw2. may not be able to pull much on the inner loop due to the grades.

when released, bachmann alco s4 or fa2.

Thanks ACY.  this design stuff is definitely alot harder than it looks, but a ton of fun and rather relaxing.  hopefully i will have more pics of the layout completed

Thanks D

the camera does wonders to make it look better than it really is.  first attempt at this stuff so all will come in time for more realistic appearances
