Robert Gross, I have run into the same problem with the “track plans” on here. The are great ideas but don’t have the details that are needed to just build it. I found one on here that I really wanted to build and needed to come up with the trackage. What I did was download some rail planning software and recreated it on there from the picture. It then gives a list of what track pieces you need.
I don’t have local access to an HO train store, and have to either mail order, or go on a road trip for supplies. Agawa Yard is just what I was looking for, but the “Track Plan” does not list its inventory of track equipment like the angle of the cross-over track, and where #4 turnouts are the “minimum,” what are the other size turnouts and how many do you need of each? I’d hate to make the trip to Southern Maine, guess at what I need from the picture, and come home with the wrong assortment of stuff. Right now, it’s not really a track plan, it’s a picture of a track plan. Can someone post something here to help me. I really like Agawa Yard and want to build it.
