The OUTER OVAL of this combo layout is the  Z11: Hi-Speed Oval w/ Holding Track, which is 10' 6" in length and 34" in wide.

  • Because of our custom 3-D printed 320 mm roadbed curves, you can run longer trains on this layout-- 12 or more cars passenger, 24 or more freight. 
  • And this layout, even though it has but a single track, can support two trains at a time on it because it has a long holding track where you can park one of the trains, either just to store it or to let the other train pass it by.

 

The insert portion of the layout is the Z6: Elongated Figure 8 (35" x 19"). It is a Figure 8 layout that can run smaller trains (up to 4-6 cars long). 

 

AND YOU CAN SAVE $200.00 BY BUYING THESE TWO LAYOUTS AS A SET.

 

We won't try to cover all the details about this combination layout IN WORDS when, in fact, we have created several videos that can tell the story much better. Click on the hyperlinks as follows:

 

1. SHIPPING "STACKABLE" LAYOUTS" - How we stack and ship layouts this big -- and which you hook up at your place just by inserting the adjustable tracks between sections.

 

2. THE INCREDIBLE ADVANTAGE OF THE 320 MM CURVE -- on how our custom 3D printed 320 mm curved roadbeds/track let our layouts do so much more than would be possible on a 270 mm curve (the largest commercially available curve).

 

3. HOW TRAINS CAN SHARE  A TRACK --EVEN IN DC (something that is possible once you have the right holding track technology in place).


3. BALANCING THE SPEED OF TWO TRAINS --  if you want two trains to share a track, you must get them at least somewhat close in speed.

 

4. THE "SLINKY" EFFECT -- what it is and what and what you can do about it.

 
As for shipping the layout, you will get it in FOUR SECTIONS. We will provide complete instructions, including how you will glue up the  TWO LAYERS of 1" thick foam that we ship (so that the whole thing becomes a single 2" thick 'monolith' of material). Then you will use the adjustable tracks we send to hook the sections together. If you haven't already watched SHIPPING "STACKABLE" LAYOUTS" we highly recommend you do so now.

 

      If you would like,  you can download a full-page track plan or the electrical diagram for it: for the track plan, click here for TRACK PLAN - for for the Wiring Diagram/Instructions , click ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM.

 

     Far more detail can be learned if you look up the listing for each of the combo layouts: the Z11 Hi--Speed Oval w Holding Track and the Z6 Elongated Figure 8.

 

A couple of closing notes:  All track is Rokuhan. Turnouts for holding tracks are powered, and, while we provide all power feeds and cables needed, we do not include the power controllers for track or turnouts  -- nor  do we include any buildings, locomotives, or train cars. 

 

     In closing, have you seen our YOU TUBE video on our Logan Square Z and N SHOWROOM – where we have 12 trains running on 9 layouts – all at the same time? Here is the link to see it: YOU TUBE VIDEO
