Working on a layout (feddit.de)

I'm currently working to completely rework the layout my father and I own.

One of the bigest musts is continuous traffic.

I saw this trainstation plan and quite liked it.

The "dead-End" from Track 2 is for additional expansion in the future.

Do you have any ideas and suggestions? What do you think of it?

Some more information:

Length x Width: 3m x 1.2m

Max. train length in the above ground station: 1.3 m (to not block switches)

Max. train length in the shadow station: 1.5 m

Height between the two layers: 10 cm

Max. slope: 3.3 %

Wow, this is a really neat project, please keep us updated on the progress. I'm very interested in following it.

Thank you, but I'm afraid even if we choose this design, it will take years to build due to space and time constraints.

But if something gets done, I will make an update 😄

Nothing wrong with a good long-term goal! :D

Currently we're still in the process of creatively acquiring stuff and running it on a layout that is "definitively just temporary and will get replaced soon" (it is close to 20 years now :D)
