4' by 6' Layout Plans

for

O Gauge Track


These are a series of track plans for O Gauge track on a 4' by 6' surface.  Though the space seems small, it is more than adequate for very satisfying O Gauge operations.  These plans can be used alone, or adapted as extensions to an existing layout.  The plans themselves are easy to adapt, alter and change to suit your whim.  Scenery and accessories shown only as an example.  Note that because of the tight space, you might have to fudge, budge and perhaps even cut track for a good fit.  No worry - O track cuts easily with a hacksaw.

Our plans can also be used for MTH Real Trax.

We have used scenery and accessories from several manufacturers.  you can substitute scenery and accessories as you wish.

A classic type railway built entirely for fun with running trains and using the operating accessories,
