O-72 Layout to the Extreme

Extending our O-72 layout into something truly spectacular

One of our club members had asked about the possibility of a 25' by 25' pike.  Nice challenge!  Taking the previous O-72 layout, it was extended in increments to produce a giant pike that allows multiple train operation, continuous running, switching operations, point-to-point work and more.

We extend to the right, to a full 25' long, and add an 8' by 8' extension on the lower left.

A 17' by 4' extension makes for a great yard and / or passenger terminal

An 8' by 8' on the lower left provides switching and more continuous running

Extending left and right to 20' increases running and room for scenery.  A good scenery job would thrive here.

Now we extend to the full 25'  This massive pike allows for continuous running, point-to-point and switching.  It has grown to a super pike!
