They are maked NEW.

What would you prefer next? I can do 3' by 4' with Atlas O and wioth RealTrax. Do you want Atlas or MTH track?

I use the RR track software with accessory libraries. It's easy to use and very accurate.

I have a challenge for you Thor, How about a 3' X 10' engine servicing facility. could you also try to squeeze some of the lesser used accessories in there, like:
Transfer Table
Locomotive Backshop
Steam Clean and WheelGrinder
Turntable
Diesel fueling station
3 piece coaling station

Does that get any of your creative juices flowing???

You could produce a nice switching layout in 2X4 ft space if you were so inclined.

If you add a helix at both ends, you could quadruple the size with four levels or even more. It's amazing what you can do with very little space. No more excuses!

I just added the 3' by 4' pikes for MTh Realtrax and Atlas O. That makes more than two dozen more track plans. You would be amazed what you can do with them.

Just for the record, I've put up over 100 track plans for O in the last two weeks. That RR Track can be very relaxing to use
