WIP -- Japanese Hillside

Built By: Kevin S

Description: Still A work-in-progress….. Posting to share plans related to the 2026 Chattanooga Layout.

Standard double length, with curved track. Under the mainline track is a Kato Compact Oval with automation running the train. This loop is electronically independent of mainline tracks. Running off it's own Arduino + motor driver. Needs external power from "the wall" (ie. US standard 120volt line). Will try to find alternative means to power, such as a Dewalt power battery etc….

The mainline curves are 315mm and 348mm radius - so well within the T-TRAK standard corner "minimum radius" of 282mm.
