Scott Smith's Track Plan

Realtrax Mini Track Plans


Scott Smith is one of our friends from the OGR forum.  Recently, he shared a track plan he devised for his daughter.  It was made using MTH Realtrax and was intended to be portable.  It should be able to be rolled under a bed.

I got one look at that fine little track plan and set myself to work.  Look at the basic plan.  It allows for plenty of action.  All I did was add scenery and come up with a few variants.  Scott did the real planning by devising one excellent little track plan.

The basic plan.  Here I have given it a small urban scene.  3D images to the right show how it might look with this scenery.

The plan itself allows for continuous running and a simple two-train operation.

The same superb plan, done in a  rural theme with a farm at the center.  Again, 3D images illustrate how the finished layout might look with this scenery.

Just for fun, I added a long spur at the top and a lionel barrel loader.  3D to the right shows how it might look.

Here is a spur from the left, with the Seaboard Coaler coal crane.  3D to the right shows how it might look.

Finally, two spurs.  One has the Coaler, the other has an MTH operating freight platform.  The3D to the right illustrates how it might look.

Our thanks to Scott Smith for sharing his track plan.
