<p>In the 1990´s, MR ran a series on how to build a switching layout. It was the "Port of Los Angeles" layout by Bob Smaus.</p> <p>The following track plan is based on this beautifully done layout:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/PORTOFMLWRRA1-1.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>It is 6" inches longer than you have mentioned, but can easily be shortened. It is 28" deep, but you can reduce that by a couple of inches as well. The cassette staging is my addition.</p> <p>This is the original track plan:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/smaus_LA.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p>
