<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In the new MRP 2005 there is an article about this modeler who was in the same sitaution your in, but the way he solved it was by using Adobe Illustrator to enlrage the track plan to fit his benchwork in 12'' sections. He had found valuation maps for the railroad he was prototyping and the Val maps were exactly 1:160 scale (N scale) If your protyping it would be a great idea to try and find val maps, but if your just freelancing, it would be much easier to use a program like Illustrator or one of adobes programs, but they are expensive and aren't designed with modelrailroader in mind. Quickest thing to do would be to scan it in and enlarge it, and maybe sction it off so you can just slap it to the board and then just lay your track out on it for perfect resemblance. I hope I helped, if not , I tried. Good luck and Have fun, that the whole point of the hobby.
