13m x 7m (42′ x 23′) Garage Plans submitted for Council Approval
We have today submitted plans to our local council in Western Australia to build a 13m x 7m (42′ x 23′) Garage to house the Denver’s RailRoads layout. If approved I can set up the old Denver’s RailRoads layout, which measured 12m x 6m, without any changes to the basic plan. However the extra one meter (39″) to both the length and width means that I can make the following enhancements to the layout:
- The redesign of the tracks entering Denver Union Terminal Station (DUT) from the North and East including the Wye used to turn passenger trains so that they could back in to the station.
- The addition of the Union Pacific 36th Street yard and the Pullman yard.
- Widening the aisle width between module 12 and module 3 from 1.3 feet to 4.3 feet.
