All the Track Plans you can stand
Posted by thor CNJ on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 1:50 PM
If you're looking for track plans for O,. O27, S, G, Standard gauge, HO, N ot TT, stop by the All Gauge Page listed in my signature below. I will be adding more plans in a few months. Progress was halted last year when I got sick, so we only have about 400 plans up.

I'll attest to the value of Thor's pages. I recently had the opportunity to augment my O-Gauge model railroading with a 9 x 6 Standard Gauge layout. During my planning, I took many long hard looks at the Standard Gauge layouts on Thor's pages.

While I did not end up using any one particular layout, it's fair to say that they all had an influence and I appreciated the thought invested in them.

Thor's site is wonderful. It is full of valuable information. I especially appeciate his myriad track plans and all the advice about running and scenery. I look forward to having it updated.

Thor, I used to spend hours looking at track plan books, I still like to study them to think about how I would run them /change them if they were mine. Thanks for the link. JIM

You're welcome, folks. I'm glad you're enjoying the site. More will be coming in the next few months - including some mini-layout plans that ought to prove interesting.

Thor-
A few years ago I bookmarked your site. I enjoy it as much today as I did the first time I went there. Thank you.

Still catching up from being away on vacation but felt I must add my thanks as well. After reading a couple of issues of Classic Toy Trains magazines and readinging "Getting Started with Lionel Trains", I turned to the web for track plan sites and Thor's was the first I came up with. Bookmarked it after two minutes. At the time I was doubtful O gauge toy trains truly could be enjoyed on a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. Thor's site and track plans convinced me it could be done. My layout is one of Thor's.

Many thanks,
Steve

thor CNJ;

Very fascinating! Have bookmarked this page! How can I send you
some more plans? I have about 60+ years worth of layout plans of
mine, my father's and my grandfather's if you are interested.

Thanks!
