I added the turntable to the inside of the wye. This isn't necessary from an operational view point, but would add visual interest and operational flexibility.
Included in the drawing is a scale drawing of the ironclad Passiac. It's hard to see where it could fit in. One possible solution is to make the ships removable so they can be replaced or rotated for variety. One drawback would be that the seam between the modeled water and the ship waterline would be visible. This can be fixed in photos using Photoshop, but might be unsightly in person.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a smart revision. One of the issues that I have discovered with O scale is the reach into corners dictated by the larger radii, and Wyes make it worse. I bet you will be much happier skinnying this down.
Can't wait to see a 1/48 Ironclad.

Looks good, Bernie! Like the changes, and think you're being very smart about access and aisle width.
