Doorway Layouts for MTH RealTrax

36" by 80" Track Plans with Extra Features


MTH RealTrax is a major component of O gauge.  Made with a fixed roadbed, it is not amenable to cutting.  The fit must be precise.  The following layouts show RealTrax used to make Doorway Layouts, with a focus on adding operating accessories.  All of the operating accessories shown are MTH products.  The structures are a blend of MTH and Plasticville.  Note that accessories occasionally go out of production.  Other accessories of similar size can be substituted.

This track plan is fine for a trolley or streetcar system.  It resembles a smaller city or large town center.
