12'X18' & 12'X20' TrackPlan with O-72 Route and On30 narrow gauge

Ken,

I love the various plans you have posted. I was wondering if you have generated any track plans in traditional Lionel Tubular O Gauge? I don't have or use any track planning software but thought you might have posted some ideas using traditional O Gauge track in the past.

I have a space that is 11' x 18' and would like to create a two track mainline circling the perimeter with the center open so that I can reach various parts of the layout. I will be using O72 and O54 track for the curves and a few O72 and O22 switches for sidings with accessories. Obviously, this will be something simpler than using Atlas O or Ross Switches and Gargraves track would permit.

Hi John, actually I have not created layouts using traditional tubular track.  So far FasTrack, Atlas, and Gargraves/Ross.  -Ken

Ken,

Did you write the newest article for OGR? The Valley City Northern, if so 👍 well done!

Thanks George, yes that is my article.   I have another article in the works for an upcoming issue.

Hello Ken,

I'm very late to this post (nearly 7 years!) but wonder if you're still willing to share your AnyRail files for the last two iterations of your fantastic layout.  I'm recently retired and am only now getting back into the scale train world.  I have a nice woodshop and all the capabilities to construct the tables/foundation of a layout but confess I'm a complete novice in planning a layout.  Yours is precisely what I'd like to have, and I have the room available.  I'm going about this a bit backwards - acquiring engines and rolling stock, etc., and am now ready to research, plan, and start building out a layout.  Many thanks.   Jeff

Should have said I'll be doing it in FasTrack.

Great!   Will you use AnyRail for layout design?  I can provide AnyRail files for any of the versions that you might be interested in.

I would very much like the AnyRail files to this layout if possible.  I love the idea of this layout and I've thought up some changes here and there to make it my own so it's not an exact copy of yours .  I've been trying to recreate it with no luck at all.
