Boys' Life published several track plans over the years. This is the only N scale layout I'm aware of, and it's about as minimal as they come, with only four turnouts. There were only two one-page articles about it. I'm sharing it here for completeness, since I already posted both the other...

Boys' Life published several track plans over the years. This one most resembles a bowl of spaghetti, but I still find it interesting for its remarkable complexity. I wonder if Glenn Wagner owned a hobby shop and wanted to make a profit selling turnouts? This layout has 20 of them! I imagine the...

Welcome to the Fox Creek Railroad! This is an N-scale layout that I began in November of 2022. It is 19 feet long with two 7 foot modules that are 2.5 feet wide and one 5 foot module that is 4 feet wide. I made the layout modular to hopefully make it capable of being moved. I currently live in a...

Above are some shots of my fictional, 2 car Amtrak train, the Northern Valley Star, based out of a fictional Wisconsin town, Northern Valley. The switching layout does not resemble any location or era in particular, but VERY VERY LOOSELY resembles Lennox, SD in the 1980s. There are also 2 guest...

I've constructed the outside loops and laid out a yard lead track, but have yet to lay any yard tracks at all, as I think my design can be improved. I'm modeling a loosely modern freelance prototype. I was thinking I could add some more engine tracks in the space. The layout is 10x5 feet, with a...

Hi All, I'm new, and excited, to get started with my first HO layout. I really like the design of the Atlas "The Way Freight Special" Code 83 Layout package: https://shop.atlasrr.com/p-44186-ho-1-the-way-freight-special-code-83.aspx However, the kit specifications state the layout includes...

For the last time, now through the Holidays, they are running Night Trains in St. Paul, MN. This is it! They've lost their lease and the layout will be taken down. As of this writing they do not have another site to set up at. Here's some video I shot last weekend...

If you've never been to EnterTRAINment Junction in West Chester, OH, it is the most impressive G-Scale layout I've ever seen. They were kind enough to allow me to shoot some spectacular video, including CAB RIDES, of several of their Main Lines, which cover three different eras: Steam...

Hi all. Thought I would finally reveal my N-Scale setup to you all. It's a modest thing, but that helps me keep it all fixed up and running! This is my first time photographing my layout, so comments & critiques appreciated! Whole Layout Layout Top-Down Behind Town Crossing the Bridge...

Hello all. I've mentioned here are there that I might have an opportunity to construct a new HO layout beginning sometime after Christmas. If I do get that opportunity, this layout would be my first non-8x4 layout, which is exciting! However, that also means I'm pretty new to designing track...

This is a private layout I was invited to video for YouTube. I hope to find more S-Scale layouts to share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apvBARlYw1w&hd=1

If you're ever near Rhinelander, WI, be sure to visit the historic Logging Museum's basement. There's a little known HO-scale model railroad layout there that is an exact replica of Rhinelander during the Great Depression era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgUKf6AvsnQ&hd=1
