Simple Semi-Dogbone Railway for HO

4' by 12' layout for mixed operations


This layout uses 18" curves and can use #4 or #6 switches.  First we add a passing siding to the front.

We add a passing siding to the inside back, then a branchline inside connecting a pair of V-shaped spurs. This line is linked to the passing siding on both sides, allowing a train to enter from either direction.  This basic, symmetrical layout can handle freight and passenger operations.
