Dealer Display style layout
Posted by Nick12DMC on Monday, April 3, 2006 3:37 AM
Hi All,
Now we have everything working correctly here in the UK after our
50Hz problems. My son (7) and I are thinking of building our first permanent
layout.
I would like to do somthing like the 5' X 9' D-264 Dealer display layout but in Fastrack.
Has anyone updated one of these layout plans to Fastrack?
I would also like to build similar "Lionel" Arch style legs like the reproduction
by Toy Trains Unlimited as well so it looks like a nice piece of furniture.

Any help would be very welcome

Regards
Nick

Nick,
Classic Toy Trains has re-done several older layouts only with the fastrack. I am not sure if they have your particular one, but you might want to check the list of past articles. Good luck. Another thing you may find is that they have some great layouts in fastrack that would fit your dimensions.

Jim Barrett of OGR recently made a FasTrack version of an 8'x8' dealer display. It was very nicely done.

Not sure if you are still on the forum but I actually just did what you were thinking about doing back in 2006.  I came across the post after I completed my project.  My outer track is traditional o gauge but my inner track is fastrack.  I created the legs exactly as i saw on toy trains unlimited.
