I a newbie, so I apologize, but if I wanted to build this layout is there any additional information regarding the details of this build other than the single page PDF doc?
Why cant I download track plans on my Kindle Fire using the access code?
I have had all these ideas of what I wanted in a layout and have never really been able to put those ideas into a design, until I saw this layout, it has everything in it that I was looking for and more
This was a very appealing article and layout theme.
Very nicely designed and smooth curves, simply done, aesthetically pleasing.
Considering change of location ( Northern California). Think it will fit in well there, with a few name changes !! Thanks for the ideas
A great looking railroad with plenty of action. Excellent logical placement of the industries. Good Job!
I totally agree with Tom, this is awesome….something I couldn't conceive….and is a very good beginning to start the brain cells thinking 🙂
This layout illustrates how much can be accommodated in a relatively small space in N scale. Very nice.
Super plan!! Just what I needed but couldn't conceive. Thanks Tom.
