Originally appeared in the April 2010 issue of Model Railroader.
I was thinking of using this as a track plan but like others said a material list would be helpful. A list of the track needed and brand would be nice. Perhaps trying to build it in some track planning software will mock it up nicely.
Any success with your request?
Did anyone ever find a material list for this plan?
I am really interested.
I like this plan and I think I have the room for it. Where can I get the whole layout plan with wiring plan, and all the other specific info to build this, as I am not an electrician.
I just moved and had to dismantle my layout. I saved the work and trashed the rest. My new layout will be a shelf layout. The size is yet to be determined. This will give me a great place to start. The workbench looks like a greatplace for an island.
I have not long finished my layout shed..(Dec 2010) with this sort of plan in mind. No windows, fully lined and insulated, Painted and everything and the city where I live has suffered severe earthquake damage in the last year, and now my wee shed is full of Liqiufation I almost want to cry.
Havn't received a reply from 8/23/11.
