Hello Fellows,
I have decided to keep my Halloween trains up all year round. I plan to customize my 4X8 plywood sheet into a coffin shape. I plan to have both an O gauge train (naturally) and possibly a 1/43rd scale slot car track/set to it. Would anyone have ANY suggestions on a possible track plan(s) for such a project? This will be my very first model layout. I hope to do it right. I humbly thank you all in advance and sincerely hope for some replies & info.

Depending on how small you make the "foot" end, will determine the radius of the train track and possibly the slot car track. I don't know much about what radii slot car track comes in so I won't hazard a track plan at the moment.
I think you idea is a good one however. There are, I'm sure, other members who can use one of those track planning programs, that will be happy for the challenge.
How about a picture of what you already have.
So far, I only have a 4X8 sheet of plywood and my O gauge trains. I'm strongly considering buying one of the many 1/43 scale slot car sets from eBay. I'm thinking of cutting perhaps 5 to 6 inches from both ends to give it the classic tappered coffin look.
