Holiday Display Layouts
S Gauge Layouts
As with Lionel and Marx, there are many American Flyer train sets out there.
Some of the S gauge sets are being set up by the second and third
generation of families using them for holiday displays. The track plans
here give a nice S gauge layout for a small space, such as "under the tree."
The plans themselves use American Flyer track, but you can easily
substitute S-Trax from the S Helper Service, as it uses the same basic track
lengths and curve diameter.
S Track is more difficult for a small space due to its 40' curve diameter.
A layout normally requires more room, and S layouts tend to be larger
in area than comparable ones for O27 and O gauge. The layouts below
give you good action in the smaller 4' by 5' and 4' by 4' spaces. The
center is empty, leaving room for the tree and tree stand.
Sidings allow you to vary the train's route, and to display space cars on
the siding itself while running a train.
