The layouts depicted here use standard O27 tubular track and common accessories. They fit a very small area, and though action is cramped, they are an alternative for those with small spaces. Note that on some layouts, you may need to cut track and "fudge" things to make them fit. 3' by 5' is very cramped space for all but the smallest scales. Accessories used are a variety of products: Plasticville, MTH and Lionel.
