Kerluk's layout

By the looks of it you could add small straight track pieces to both the middle and inner loops giving you just a tad more running length.
Thanks

Yes. Or group them up on the left and get bigger scenic areas on the right..?

Surprising variations are possible.

If you like the three loops but are not ready for a third engine, this is possible for the two inner tracks.



It uses the Atlas 25 degree crossing which matches the 6020 curves nicely.
It does need 8, not 6, 6020's though, and some of those cutting to length.
(outer curve R1 Hornby or Peco)

Thanks for this idea. I need short wheelbase wagons. The grey wagons and the coaches are a little bit too long but the loco runs very well. As usual a short video (one train is not to scale which one ?):

The third circle

The 4-wheel coaches should be OK, I've run them on my 10" 6020 curves.

Have you reduced them to one hook per coupler pair?
Sideways pressure there can make them run reluctantly or jerkily.
If one runs pretty freely on its own but not so much when coupled to a loco or another coach, it's almost certainly a coupling issue.

Thanks for your advices.

Not yet.

Problem solved. I stop buying Hornby stuff and I dismantled my layout.
And I leave this forum !
