Thank you for this warm welcome. Here is my current projet with help/advices needed : http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=97423 I will post update and pictures.

Thanks. Well, I will first put track on the floor. Than I plan to add some rail road buildings. Currently, I have no more advanced project. That's a point of view but I really like the crossover. It gives some realistic look to a track. I found a second hand one for 75 €. Happily, I don't need those euros back to buy a new train. Three trains are enough for now. I just need one more 7895 witching tracks set to get all what I want ! - Outer track is fine for fast trains (most straight). - Two trains can run in any direction by not using the crossover. - One train can do a lap all over the track using the crossover. - Two trains can wait at station and up to two train still can run. - Reversing loop. - Keep 2.88 m x 1.22 m small footprint. Layout 4 44 curves 72 straights 4 left switchings 4 right switchings 1 crossing I plan to build the track next week end.

Thank you all for your advice. For now, I prefer not to cut out brand new Lego parts. If both train can run the opposite direction, it's good enough for me. I will try my first design for some days. I still have to receive the crossing (I hope during the week). I have reworked my layout to have an alternative solution. This way, I lost parking area but the two rings can avoid the crossing. Layout v2 I will complete the loop junction with flex track. Buy the way, I'am keep on trying with a third révision (with two more switching). Layout v3 I like v3 because lower part looks like a *true* complex station rail road.

Thank you. So sad ! :( I se this on a french website. Is it wrong ? If inner train (yellow) run clockwise and outer train (green) counterclockwise, will it work ? I was planning to use this setup for two trains (even if they have to run in only one way) The second setup looks fine for single train. Is there a file dedicated to track sample ? EDIT : Thanks for all replies (when I was answering).

Hello, I am just starting with Lego trains but I am familiar with the trains. I already got HO and Merklin N trains. Here is what I got : Tracks only : 6 x 7499 Flexible and Straight Tracks 1 x 7895 Switching Tracks 1 x 7996 Train Rail Crossing Box : 1 x 60051 High-Speed Passenger Train 1 x 66374 City Super Pack 4 in 1 (damn, I just see I got 66405 not 66374) So : 6 x 8 + 4 + 20 = 72 straight 16 + 20 + 4 = 40 curves 1 crossing 6 switchings I got some goals for my track : - 2 trains can run at the same times - it can reverse a train - it can park unused wagons - One part is for *speed train* so with as few crossing as possible - A station stop track (where a train can stop allowing other to run) - Not a too large nor long layout (due to WAF) 3 meters long and as narrow as possible Due to Super Pack 66405, I will have use flex track (dont like them much) because 4 curves are missing. I will place the flex track in the reversing loop area. Any advice about my track layout is welcome !!! Current size is 2.88 m x 1.22 mm. Ps : Sorry for my poor English.

Hello, I just start a new Lego collection with trains (already got a lot of Star Wars and Technics sets). 10233 Horizon Express : I did not buy it when it was released. It was one of the first Lego train I really wanted. But the lacking of tracks makes me wait... 60051 High-Speed Passenger Train : I love Ice, so this is the first train I buy. I did not wait a second to buy it. By the way, I order Horizon Express. Without tracks, trains are rather useless. So I also buy 6 x 7499 Flexible and Straight Tracks 1 x 7895 Switching Tracks This week, I start to use a BlueBric software to design a track layout. Few days later, I got my project but I was needing some more tracks... 66374 City Super Pack 4 in 1 : I just found this nice box today in a commercial center. This box got all missing tracks. So, I take it and one more train comes home !

Hello, My english is a bit old and rusty so, sorry if I make mistakes. More ever, if I'm an old Lego fan (42 years old), I don't know pieces names. I got plenty Lego Technics and Lego Star Wars. Last month, I started to buy some trains. :) I have waited a lot time before buying TGV because there is no track within the box... But it was perhaps only a reason not to start a new collection. But when Lego release the new high speed passenger train, I fall in love with. I use to travel a lot in Europe so I often use Thalys, Ice and TGV. I need some help to setup my train track layout.
