Layout design

Layout for a room 3m x 3m

Hi, I have a spare room that measures 3m x3m and would like to fit a HO scale layout that has possibly 2 levels or 1 level with mountain scenery in the background. My last layout was in a room 3m x 6m but that was dismantled with only the track being saved. I would appreciate any help that can be put my way. I model B&O Steam and Diesel as well as UP steam and diesel. My mental picture is lots of mountains, valleys and bridges.

Drawing a track plan

Good evening all,

How would I make up a track play of my layout?  I see some that are posted and feel it would be a great addition to include one in my operating handouts.

Thanks

The Bradford Valley Lumber Co - Concept & Construction

Hi all,

My name's Daniel, and I'm an Australian modeling the Pacific Northwest of the United States in On30 scale.  My layout is based on a freelanced logging railroad, the Bradford Valley Lumber Company, and is set during the year 1947.

Reading Railroad

This is a freelanced railroad, loosely based on the Reading Railroad from Reading to Philadelphia.  I started construction in November 2012.  Now, one year into it, I am starting my first Blog.

Building a home for a GE 85 Ton Locomotive

Well the purpose of building two GE 85 Ton Locomotives was so I could run them in an open pit much like they did for HBMS Flin Flon and in the Bingham Canyon Pit Utah, if not in other places as well.

Looking for a Ian Rice Track Plan

Hello,

maybe someone out there could help me. I'm looking for a trackplan made from Ian Rice. It was printed I think in one of Model Railroaders supplements. It was 4x8 feet trackplan, which he converted to a shelf layout desing. If I'm right there was a small wharf and a cannery.

Thank you for your help.

point to point or not

I wish to build a model train layout depicting the lifecycle of cement production I want to start the lifecycle by building a quarry with a stone crusher and washer facility ( the glacier gravel co) leading to a cement production plant (valley stone cement co) not a ready mix plant connecting the two using a conveyer system and then finally at a later stage would like to add a ready mix plant( medusa cement co ) connecting all three facilities closer to a city or town Should I use a point to point layout system or could I use another layout format
