my new layout
« on: November 24, 2008, 19:07:35 »
This is a picture of my new layout. We already put up a christmass tree and this track goes around it. According to the program the track can't really connect, but in real life they can stretch a bit. Can anybody recommend a piece that will make this layout work?

Which type of Playmobil train do you have? RC or electric?

If you have brass (LGB) track, it will connect, no problem.

If you have the plastic track, I THINK it will connect as well as there is bit of slop in the connections, not very much, but looking at the long run, I think there's enough.

What application did you use to generate you layout?

It is all LGB track  ;D
I know it works because it is laying on the floor here. But it doesn't work perfectly. There is something putting pressure on the rails and they are connected badly here and there.
That is why I used RailModeller (mac os x) to make a virtual track and see where the flaw is!
