Atlas Track Templates

To my knowledge, Atlas provides no such product in any scale.  There are other software options for trackplanning (Atlas even offers a free, but limited use version for its own products), but if you don't want to go that way, you will have to buy 1 piece of each Atlas product and make your own full size template.  Another alternative might be to see if one of these programs will print a 1:1 (full size) picture.  If so, you could put each different piece of track into a temporary plan, print that piece full size and repeat as needed for other or additional pieces.

Hope this helps.

Why not try one of the tracks plans that Atlas has on there website. Find one that comes close to what you like and you then make some minor changes to your liking.  

Hey TrainHead......you're getting sage advice from JoeCeleb........and for years I have been saving some "choice idea" track plans for my future layout!  Like Joe said.....just choose a layout that will fit inside your outermost/inner most room dimensions..........add a spur track  or two.........perhaps add a parallel line/track here and there for two train operation..........viola!      And you can look at internet sites that have many track plan(s) ideas for free.....

Some good advice by Chuck, Trainhead.  You need to decide on track system that you will use (Atlas, GarGraves/Ross, Lionel, MTH, etc., or whomever), then buy at least one piece of everything you plan on using.  Curves, straights, crossings, switches, etc.  Then go find a bunch of used corrugated cardboard (recycling bins, big box stores, etc.), and start tracing and cutting out your own templates.  Won't cost you anything for the templates that way.  Get enough templates cut out, and you can fit together one heck of a layout and change it around to your hearts content until you arrive at something that looks good to you and fits your space. 

Use masking (or other) tape to lay out the shape of your proposed table on the floor of the room where you will build. Buy some track of the type(s) and sizes you will use for the layout and place them onto the floor in a part of the track plan that you would like to build. Place paper under the tracks, make patterns of the tracks and tape them to the floor. Then, pick up the tracks and do another part of the layout until you have a complete plan that you want to build. Revise any parts as necessary. Then purchase any remaining track that you need.

SCARM has an option to print your plan id full-size,  That's not practical, but you can print individual track pieces and cut them out to form your templates,

File > Print  and check the box for full-size (1:1).
