HO-Scale Track Plans for Shelf Layouts

[alocsin]

If you have space for a shelf, you have space for an HO layouts as shown in my latest article:

Model Train Resource: HO-Scale Track Plans for Shelf Layouts

And if you think shipping of your model railroad stuff is slow, the article talks about a guy in Mexico who waits ten weeks for his purchases to get to him from the US. Assuming everything goes smoothly.

That is a beautiful layout, flyboy. I like how the many of the structures and much of the track aren't parallel to the edge of the front edge of the layout.

Thank you. The home version is going to be incorporated as the industrial area of the around the room layout I am going to construct.

Lol. I didn't realize that you were the builder. Pleased to meet you Richard. So you laid the track directly on plywood? Why did you choose that rather than homasote or foam?

Do you have a track plan for the new layout yet, and how this little one is going to fit there?

I think that's another advantage of small shelf layouts -- you can easily make them part of larger pikes.
