Givens and Druthers

Now we come to the ever popular Givens and Druthers.

Givens

Trolley line based on Boston's MTA/MBTA

Era late 1950's to 1964 which is when the MBTA was formed. This allows use of the tangerine and cream color scheme and (cheating a little) the conventional Type 5 cars as well as PCC's.

Benchwork height around 48".

Room size 10' by 12'

No duck unders.

Minimum radius 6 1/4" (this happens to be the radius of the Richard Orr street turnouts)

Druthers

Street running some with a center reservation, some without, some private right of way.

At least 2 routes for variety

A short segment of subway.

Signaling in subway and private ROW sections

Carbarn and work equipment

Crossovers, loops or tail tracks in subway for short turn
