4' by 8' Layouts for Bachmann EZ Track
Though these track plans use the HO EZ-track, they can accommodate either HO or ON30 trains. ON30 is a small type of O scale narrow-gauge railroad which runs on HO track. The plans offer a variety of operations. Our examples depict them with scenery scaled for ON30. HO structures would be smaller, using about 1/4 as much space. HO is approximately half the length, width and height of O. You can use these plans for either type of train.
This track plan has many possibilities. In our example, it is given mountainous scenery, such as might be found on a logging or mining railway.
