Great Expanded Point-to-Point Layouts for the Budget

Expand Layout #12 either way for more action on a budget.

The Point to Point layout described in #12 can be extended sideways to 12 feet, and have a 4' by 4' expansion to any corner. Here we show how to expand it first to the left to a full 12", and then extend forward or back. The layouts pictured here are great for point-to-point operating, be it freights, transit, or any combination.

Adding 4' to the right, a switch and some track make a spur.

Two more switches help make a reverse loop.

A single switch makes for a second siding.

Two well-placed switches give us another circle, making this a very interesting layout.

An additional 4' by 4' added to the lower right allows us to make a longer spur with passing siding, plus a spur at the end of the line.

Two switches close the loop and make a reversing track.

An additional switch makes an a siding within the loop.

Add one more switch to make one more spur.

Here we add a 4' by 4' extension to the left lower corner. We extend both lines, connect them with a two switches.

One more switch closes the gap, so that both tracks lead into one siding. Add one more switch to make an extra siding in the extended area.
