sebby Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) I'm trying to rebuild my train station into something like my local train station. On one side the is the station and platform, then a foot bridge over two parallel tracks and the a small platform on the other side. This is a pic of basically what I'm trying to do, please remember this is a W.I.P. There will be a parallel track running next to the track shown. A few more pics can be found HERE At the moment I need the tracks to be 2 studs apart but to join up a a set of points not to far away from the station. Is this possible with standard straights and curves or would I need some flexy track or something else ??? Thanks in advance. [EDIT] I don't think it will matter to much but I will be using the RC track. Edited February 5, 2010 by TheBrickster Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 First of all, why not just build it a little wider and have your tracks 8 studs apart? Alternatively, you could indeed use some flexitrack, and as you are using RC trains, you can use them without having to worry about electrifying the lines. Another alternative is having the track 0 studs apart as that is quite easy to do with standard curves, but 2 apart is a little tricky. Quote

pe668 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Points do not have to sit parallel to the straights. Here is another option which spaces the lines are little wider. Or this Quote
sebby Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Many thanks to Captain Zuloo, FreeBee and pe668. I'll try all 3 ways over the next few days and when I find 1 that works for me I'll post some new pics up. Once again thanks. Quote

Stations can be end of the line. Besides over 10+ straights one stud out won't be an issue so just join it back up at the other end. Quote
