Hello!
I have a plan, what is under construction.
I'd like to build a layout, what just fit in a living room in a block of flats.
I'd like to get tips and ideas from anybody.
Best regards,
Thrush

Will this be a point to point or a loop-around??

It will be loop-around, but I plan some point to point layouts, too.

Cool - it seems your track won't match up... are you going to flex the track to make it fit?
I love your complex stations. What pursuaded you to go with Fleischmann?? I've been advised to go with Tillig Elite or Peco myself.

I know, that is why I make my plans with flex tacks, but I think it's solvable without them.
Thanks! I like complex stations. Good idea!
I also like Tillig Elite tracks, but they're too serious for me. I try with them.

Have you used Fleischmann on an operating layout?? They seem to have a much larger library which would open up options! That's the one down-side to Tillig, I think their tracks look awesome but it seems they don't have enough diversity in terms of turnouts and things.

Hello,
- Yes, I have. I think, this is the perfect track set for my layouts.
- You are right. According to my opinion, the Tillig Elite track set the best, but it has deficiencies.
Take care,
Thrush

Hey Thrush - will this be one level of a multi-level layout?

Yes, of course. You are right. This will be a multi-level layout.

I have a hard time advising without getting a more complete picture of how the layout will look - what are your plans for the tracks' destination?
I think the train yards will be awesome operating hot spots - I wonder though whether you might want to make the straight aways seem less straight? If they are supposed to represent the long journeys in between, it may be better to make the S less artificial looking maybe by trying to elongate the curves?
