Dixiana Branch, VA--18'x20' Beginner's Track Plan
Scale: HO
Minimum Radius: 18"
Minimum Aisle Width: 40"
This beginner's trackplan is designed for one half of a long garage. It is designed to use commercial switches and flextrack laid on cookie-cutter sheets of plywood. I designed it with all of the prototype's tipples and associated switching to keep a couple of operators occupied for a while. However, because most beginners (and most non-beginners on occasion) sometimes just like to see trains run around, I designed it so the tail of the wye at Glamorgan and the Critical Fork branch form a continuous running loop--a big bonus in my opinion.
