I use to have one of those green HO scale track templates.  Lost it of course. Now I can’t find it online anywhere. Can someone recommend a good one to use that’s available somewhere. And I’m not trying to print anything out, I know those are options but as of now I want another one I can physically hold and sketch legendary layouts with

You already got some answers

You already got some answers in the thread you started a couple days ago, perhaps check back there?

Or this time are you asking for templates to make scale drawings of your trackplan?

making scale drawings?

A straight edge,an architect's scale and a compass are the basic drawing tools. The scale of drawings would depend on the layout size and would commonly be somewhere from 1/2 inch per foot to 1.5 inches per foot .....DaveB

Layout drawing

The old fashioned way of using a pencil, the triangular shaped ruler, compass is the best way to plan a layout. I did use an online tool and was very disappointed in what the results were. So personally I do not recommend the online tools. Not in comparison to the pencil and paper. It's far easier. And you really don't need any templates. Unless you are going to use snap track. But if you are planning on using flex track, etc. Or even fast track. The pencil & paper is the way to go. IMHO far more accurate.

DIY 3D template

Here’s a link for a 3D printed version. You should always have a friend with a pickup truck, and a friend with a 3D printer.
