Simple loop with two sidings. Our scenery implies a commuter / trolley or small freight shunting pike. It can operate as a loop or as a point-to-point railway.

This is a point-to-point railway with sidings. It would make a good short-line logging, industrial or mining railway

This is the same layout as above, but with different scenery. There will be tunnels through the mountain. The track plan could also be adapted to a trolley or commuter line by using urban or suburban scenery.

A loop with a crossover and siding. In our example, the crossover would be hidden inside the mountain. This is a pleasant rustic scene for a logging or mining pike. However, the same track plan can be a fine little trolley pike.

A confusing point-to-point system! There is a short single line bisecting the complex railway with intersecting lines. It would make an interesting trolley pike, or it could be a freight shuttle. Such a railway could even be an industrial or mining pike within an industrial area, serving various facilities. This layout has potential for expansion.

A variant of the previous railway is this point-to-point system. It can be a trolley system, logging pike, dockside railway or industrial system. Our example implies a trolley pike.
