I am back in the sunroom with a new 4×8 layout. Last week I had essentially unlimited space on the floor in our new room. This week, I am back in the sunroom. The picture below shows what the sunroom looks like without the Kato Unitrack layout. All of my Kato Unitrack, except for the bridges fits in the white case on the table. As a bonus, you can see the FasTrack loop on the floor.
A few weeks ago, I combined the v11 and v16 sets to make this layout. The v11 has 381/414 double curves and the v16 has 447/480 double curves. The sets fit together perfectly as the two largest double curve sets, creating four tracks of incrementally changing radii. The v14 set has 282/315 double curves. That leaves a gap for the R348 curves, if you have all three sets.
I created two simple loops with the v14 inside the v16. The four top tracks are evenly spaced so that extra space was available below the v14 loops for storage turnouts.
There are four separate tracks for trains. The outside three lanes each have at least one storage turnout.
There is a reverse loop on the inside.
Just like the v11 & v16 layout, this one suffers from the reverse loop being all the way on the inside track. Placing the reverse loop between the second and third lanes is the most convenient, but you need something with the space of the Easter Train to pull that off. The availability of a storage turnout on every track does make it easier to move the trains from track to track. This is a fun layout that took about an hour to set up.
