Anyrail 6 grades3/17/2024 ![]() I spent so much time on the computer struggling to get everything to fit perfectly, and now I feel like I'm fudging it a bit for this phase. ![]() Everything seems to be coming together at this point, but I'm worried that when I start laying the track, things won't fit exactly how they did on the CAD program. If it was a 4x8, I would be able to trace the plan directly onto the wood, but since this is 5x9 I have to cut everything in non-contiguous pieces (I'm making sure that I don't have any roadbed splices under a turnout). ![]() Now I'm up to the part of cutting the roadbed and finding that its hard to translate the plan exactly to get everything precisely right. After much tweaking I got everything to fit perfectly. I spent a lot of time using AnyRail to adapt the plan to 5x9 and making sure I had nothing less that 22" radii and max 3% grades. My thought was that I could give myself a bit more room for error and have slightly wider curves using 5x9. It's an expanded (5x9) version of the Virginian and I'm using L-girder instead of cookie cutter. I'm in the process of building my first layout.
