Red October

Pretty much the idea. Here's a few other photos:

Here's some of the stuff I did on my Lionel layout

Thank you. This information is very helpful. I am a contributing writer to Classic Toy Trains and have worked with Lionel type layouts, but the Lego stuff is all new. Looking forward to this project.

Appreciate any assistance, please. I am planning a Lego-based layout to build with my girlfriend and her two youngsters. The size will be 16 x 8. I have decided to incorporate a Lego train run and ask for some basic information. I have built a Lionel train layout (took me eight years) and think in terms of the Lionel system of track radius in planning the track run. Lionel track (tubular) is 031, 042, 054, 063 and 072. These being diameters. Do Lego curves have a set diameter or radius? Also, what is the length in inches of a straight? I will not be placing the track on Lego bases, but rather on a foam surface and building Lego structure to compliment. I will blend the Lego structures back into a realistic scenery setting. Any advice appreciated.
