Single Track 3' by 6' Point to Point Layout

Three-Track System for short operations


This 3' by 6' layout starts with 11" curves, and adds first an independent line with an arc of 9 3/4" and finishes with another independent line with 11' and  19" curves.  The end result is a nice single-track main system and two shorter independent ones.  These independents would  be fine as mining or logging roads.  The one that bisects the main line would also be a nice commuter or trolley railway.  You can have a LOT of fun with scenery here.

This part uses 11" curves, making a simple point-to-point railway terminating in sidings

We add a second line, using a 90 degree crossover.  Inside the upper left loop, we are using 9 3/4 track.  This could be a trolley line, other transit or mining railway

Outside we add a separate line.  From its top right to the center, 19" track has been used.  It can be mining, short line or trolley / transit.

We envisioned a mountain at the right side, with mining at the center.  The third line's spur would enter the mine.
