Need Info

[buicfrank]

Being old and feeble, is there any where I can get a track plan that gives all the info for putting a plan together? I think atlas had something like that years ago. Numbers of pieces, curves straight track switches and so on. Just want to plug and play, if thats what you call it. Frank

KATO track is nice for set radius and configured track. Here is a list of plans that also have bills of materials.
Kato Track Plans

The Gateway - NMRA website has a variety of small 4' x 6' HO scale layouts. I am not sure their layouts have a bill of materials listed but look through the 'Layout" tab on their website for some ideas.

Have fun and welcome aboard.

It depends on how big of a plan you want. Have you considered buying a train set?

Atlas still does that. Books are still published. OR... One can find them on the used market for a couple bucks each. And Woodland Scenics makes sets for the track plans. Some of the plans can just be assembled on a sheet of plywood/foam, others require benchwork and some woodworking. All you have to do is assemble the kit and add the trains.
