This 4' by 12 is only 18 inches wide at the center. The end turn-around are 4' by 4'. You could extend the center by adding straight track. ADVANCED WIRING NOTICE: The leftmost spur can serve as a reversing track, or wye. It must be insulated and wired as a reversing track for two-rail operation.

This 16' by 16' shelf layout is 18 inches wide on the straightaways. The ends require 4' by 4' for the turnaround track. The corner in the middle is 2' by 2'. I have added scenery to show a small passenger operation as well as a freight yard. ADVANCED WIRING NOTICE: The leftmost spur (upper left area of the layout) can serve as a reversing track, or wye. It must be insulated and wired as a reversing track for two-rail operation.

This 16' by 16' layout is 18 inches wide, except for the middle corner. That juts out about 19 inches. The scenery, in this case platforms, gives you an idea of a point-to-point passenger operation. There is no means for turning around a locomotive.

Here we add another line on the opposite wall. Because of the way the track plan worked, it is a four-track addition with a spur for railroad facilities.
