Description
The track plan is suitable for simultaneous running of two trains – one in the outer oval and one more in the figure “8” in the middle area. As currently designed, the plan has only one entry/exit point from the outer line to the inner figure “8”, but can be easily modified in two ways, for two different solutions:
Solution 1 - adding of 2 more crossovers (4 turnouts), placed in the station area in order to allow one more exit/entry route between the two lines.
Solution 2 - adding of just one crossover (2 turnouts), placed in the upper left area in order to allow one more transition between the two lines.
