    Here is my present 4X8. Powered by NCE DCC. I used Atlas code 83 track along with 16 Atlas snap switches. 14 of which are 18"radius ( I think they are Atlas 540 and 541). The two turnouts on either end of the mainline outside oval are Atlas 22" curved snap switches. All turnouts are remote...

    Hello from Nevada

    I found this site while I was Googling ideas for 4x8 track plans. I'm planning on building an HO scale layout loosely based on the NYC in the early to mid 50's. As a child my father and I (mostly my Dad) built a 12 x4 layout while I did my very best to get in the way and say "is it done yet" or...

    My newest attempt at a 4x8 HO layout
