First, that cute little engineer on the left needs an engineers hat. Smile

Second, how about a separate line running within the one you have there but not connected. This way you can run a second train at the same time without worry of them slamming into each other.

Great job Jonese. I like Super's idea - more trains is always fun.

If you only have a little more track though and you have 2 x turn outs you can make a shortcut at the bottom of the loop to make it interesting.

Thanks guys. Managed to get this bundle on eBay for a good price. EBay seems expensive once you add the postage. The postage really ups the price. Any ideas where to go with these pieces

There are the road pieces, so then you can make a road layout too, I see there are risers too. Those you can use to elevate the tracks, so you can build your layout upwards. There are also a red bridge, I have a couple of those they’re really good to have. And elevating tracks too. Good find

Well here’s first attempt. A nightmare with a one and two year old trying to help!! Any suggestions. It’s only one track at the moment. Could do with making it two. How???

Looking good Jonese

If you wanted an easy transition to 2 lines would this work?

Sounds like a good idea Super. EBay here income. I’m out of track as you can tell by the random use of points! Want some more tunnels and supports also

RE: We all have to start somewhere! - Finno - 05-20-2019

Looks good. The more you experiment the more your brain will recognise the possibilities and the common combinations of track pieces.

No, it wouldn't. They're on two different levels and too close to each other. Also, that piece is a set of double track points and nothing can be connected to the side.
