Bob's Track Plans

I apologize for some of the names I give these railroads, but my clients know they can change them at will. John wanted to run Nickel Plate and Rock Island but also his Big Boys so we went with a 30" minimum radius and an up-and-over to give him a decent double track main on his prebuilt 8'x14' table. The wooded hill down the middle can serve as a view block and I made sure most of the turnouts were close to the table edges, because a 4' reach into the interior would not be g

John wanted to model the famous Stampede Pass in Washington state in a long bonus room with sloping walls. He does not anticipate multiple operators or frequent guests so he was OK with the minimum 24" aisles that enabled a long and prototypically accurate mainline. The west staging level is actually between the lower and upper decks to give a spectacular eye-level view of the tunnel and the ability to run some nice helper service.
