32" by 77" layouts
These layouts fill that "middle ground." Granted, they are a tight squeeze for the 32" width, and switch machines might overhang a bit. Some fudging and cutting might be required. The end result is a nice, small layout with plenty of action.
Why did we design them? To see if we can! You decide if these small layouts fit the bill for you.
This double-oval layout is perfect for commuter type operations, especially trolleys and streetcars. Depicted in each oval is a small residential neighborhood.

This layout looks like the previous one at first glance, but actually uses two crossovers and has more sidings. It can host a small industrial or freight operation, and accommodate a trolley system as well. Sidings are longer, and can accommodate longer cars.
