How to build a model railroad in a minimum amount of space. Includes 11 track plans. 6 articles. 22 pages.

These 11 HO and N scale track plans prove that there's always room for a model railroad. Taken from the pages of Model Railroader and Model Railroad Planning these plans show how all you need for benchwork is a narrow shelf or bookcase. You learn how to build the Clinch River coal railroad in N scale, get ideas for modeling industries in a tight space, find plans for two busy waterfront railroads, and see a plan that doubles as a challenging switching puzzle. (22 pages, 2.6 MB) Here are the track plans included in this set:
  • Short lines in HO and N by Iain Rice
  • Clinch River on a bookcase by Phillip Brooks
  • Industrial sprawl by Paul Dolkos
  • Portable port railroad by Brian C. Whiton
  • Folding belt line on a shelf by Byron Henderson
  • Lots of switching, small space by Scot Osterweil
