<p>[quote user="jvivlemore"]</p> <p>#2) Once I determine a size I need to find a layout that fits running two trains at once with some some siding to park cars but also gives me enough room to build a city. Does anyone recommend a particular book for this considering the layout sizes above?</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>3 layouts come to my mind:</p> <ul> <li>Dave Vollmer´s Juniatha Division, a 36" by 80" N scale layout built on a hollow core door, with a yard extension added at a later stage - view it <a target="_blank" href="http://thevollmerfamily.com/Pennsy/trackplan/"><strong>here</strong></a></li> <li>Marty Mc Guirk´s Androscoggin Central, a 4 by 8 ft. N scale layout featured in the Kalmbach book "N Scale Railroading: Getting Started in the Hobby, Second Edition" - you can get it <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kalmbachstore.com/12428.html"><strong>here</strong></a> and</li> <li>MR´s 2010 project layout, the Salt Lake Route, featured in Jan. to May 2010.The Salt Lake Route requires a little more room - it´s a 4 by 9 ft. layout.</li> </ul> <p>The Salt Lake Route is truly an island layout, requiring access to all sides of it, so the actual footprint is much larger.</p>
