Dear all,

As a father of two, my own experience with H0 rails dates back 30 yrs, but
now I can't keep my hands off any longer.

My daughter and I spent the last days designing a L-layout fitting a
relatively small corner in her room. The curve radii seem to be rather
small, and I wonder if this will work at all. There are three levels, at 0,
4 and 8 cm, and maybe the elevation is too ambitious as well?

We would appreciate any expert comments on our layout sketch, which
can be inspected in PDF form

and in XtrkCAD source form

Many thanks,

Torsten

Yes I think you have just enough track to make the gradients, I usually plan on 12 to 15 pieces of R1 curve or 180mm straight for a ramp before crossing over/under another track.

So if I understand correctly then the middle right of your plan is where everything crosses over so one of those is 0 and the track going over is +8cm and then everything else is ramping between those two points, which would make the top left sticky out bit of the L about +4cm.
