This layout plan is currently just a draft of the Murphy branch from the yard/roundhouse in Asheville, NC to the town of Sylva. It is a two level layout that is “unstacked” but the layers are placed directly against eachother to save space. It will be built modularly and likely with handlaid track on everythign but the helix.

Is there a way I can use this Atlas Snap-track plan with modern track and electronics? And if so, what would you recommend? I would like to keep the layout as DC

Hi all, well this looks like an interesting site to get involved with…. My current layout (Feorag) is part of the Glynoch and Rathmor Railway, which is the railway system based on the Caerwyn Islands, based off the south west coast of the UK. Not heard of it? Well there is a new website all about the history of the railways, which include…

One of the things with this hobby that I really enjoy is reading through track planning books and individual track plans. I have my own ideas, but enjoy seeing the ideas of others too. One of these days I will learn a track planning program and try a few of my own! Now I am still using graph paper! One of my favourite books in my collection…

The club I belong to, Pine Ridge Railroaders, in Oshawa, Ontario, recently moved into a new club house (since the church we were in was sold and we were evicted.) located in the basement of the administration building at Scouts Canada’s Camp Samac. We have both HO and N in the club. Here are a couple photos of the progress on our layouts…

Tonight, at a group: I’m going to meet with a friend who is going to help me prime and paint scenery for a little O Gauge railroading project I’m working on with some friends!
I’ll post updates here and on my YouTube channel, later.

Hi everyone! I’m just starting a new switching layout. This will be a proto-lanced layout. The Framingham and Lowell Railroad, once dissolved under Conrail, is reborn in 2012. The line was partially restored to serve a handful of businesses that settled in the city of Lowell in the early 2000s and 2010s. For now, only 1.1 miles of the…

Big Reverser Key is a fictional island in the part of the South Pacific past the Cook Islands and Fiji, on the way to New Zealand, in a group of islands that may be underwater mountains in our time and place, but might have been islands without stretching the imagination too far. In this alternate history, the islands were controlled by the…

I have some of my Dad’s post war Lionel and my Grandfather’s Marx, as well as my N and Ho. I have a dream of designing and building a 3 tier layout. O on the bottom, HO in the middle and N on the top. Probably just a basic oval on the O level. The HO level would have some switching capabilities, and likely also just a loop with a couple…

Hi All,
I am in the process of planning my first layout. It is a free standing layout with two different scenes. It is set of the far north line is Scotland with one half being a distillery which the railway runs through and the other being a rural station in a village with crofts surrounding it. It is a based on a 1.2m x 2.4m board.
Any…

While I am an authorized dealer for AZL, I never forgot my roots of HO Scale in the early days or my involvement with N Scale. Here’s a video of my reconfigured 4×8 that i can run 7 trains and 3 different scales all at once! I’m not sure if i will…

I am Jon and I’m from the Atlanta area (Georgia, USA). I primarily model the C&O in WV, early 1950s transition era in N scale. My layout is about 16×16 feet (about 5m by 5m) plus a branch line yet to be built. Attached is an approximate track plan, topographical map of the prototype location, and a few photos of my glacial progress.
