Layout Design Forum / Working on Lionel Layout
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:20:57 am »
Beginning to build my layout in the garage. It will be made up of 7 modules. Modules 1-6 are 5x4 and Module 7 4x8. Features will include 2 levels, Superstreets track area through the town, and a huge yard for parking upto 6 engines and cars. Will be beginning layout by building the first 3 modules and starting with a simple loop. As I add modules the track sections will be extended.
Let me know your opinions about this layout

Power & Control / Re: Running Lionchief on a large layout

Larry thanks for your input. I am thinking of powering with a CW 80. In the yard section of the layout, would I run drops to each of the three branches. For the rest of the layout, I was thinking a drop for each loop and using the 3 foot rule on the mainline. Any special detail for the 2 reversing loops?

Power & Control / Running Lionchief on a large layout
« on: February 22, 2015, 08:02:45 pm »
Hi there. First time post. I am currently designing a layout that will run LionChief engines on it. The layout will consist of 3 sections on 3 4x8 sections. My question is 2 parts. First can I run three wall packs for each 4x8 section. If not if I were to power the layout with a CW-80. How many terminal connections would be feasible? I am attaching a copy of the design of the layout.
