Animated Doorway Layouts for Atlas O

36" by 80" track plan


These layouts use the Atlas O track, which is favored by some for its more realistic appearance and versatile track geometry.  The layouts shown here may require some fancy trackwork, but the end result is worth it.  Accessories used include products by MTH, Lionel, Plasticville, and Laserkit.

Simple track plan for a small freight shunting operation.  There are many opportunities for a hobbyist to add scenery here.
