Fun Animated Layouts for MTH Real Trax O Gauge

4' by 8' track plans


These railways use standard 4' by 8' benchwork with MTH's "Real Trax" O gauge track system.  We have shown these layouts using the MTH operating accessories, along with some of the Plasticville buildings.  A serious hobbyists can have a great time adding scenery to all of these model railways.

Be aware that some accessories may not always be available.  You can substitute other accessories.  In some cases, popular accessories are reissued from time to time.

A pleasant layout that affords freight switching as well as long runs.
