Expanded O-Gauge Doorway Layouts

Layouts using two and three doorways


Here are several O layouts that have been expanded.  Table depth varies from 32" to 36" minimum.  36" is preferred.

The original layout was a trolley pike, connecting municipal and commercial zones.  It is now extended to include a residential area complete with homes, roads and a small "end of line: type station.
