The layouts shown here are designed for action. Most follow classic ways of layout planning, which affords the greatest combination of movement, switching and work with operating accessories. A hobbyist can have a great time adding scenery to these miniature railways. Accessories used in the examples below are Lionel and Plasticville.
Note that some accessories may not be available. You can substitute other accessories for those listed here. Popular accessories are occasionally reissued. Other versions of several accessories listed here are also made by MTH.
A classic type layout offers independent two-train operation plus plenty of accessory action.
