Here is the picture.
I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.
Ho scale. I tried to upload as a word document and pdf, but neither worked. I have tried googling track plans, but nothing was really even close. I need help to come up with something to meet my specific situation. Will try imgur.
Google it. You’ll find hundreds of track plans. also MR has a track plan database.

If you can have acces to all sides of the bench work, you could devide that 6' with a scenic backdrop/scene devider, and have all of that 11' for nice long trains. That 6' width would make for a nice wide radius on each end, in any scale.
Maybe start by drawing your space to scale, and see what you can come up with.

Hi BNSF:
A couple of questions. What scale? What type of file are you trying to upload to the forum?
If I understand correctly, you can't upload a file directly to the forums. The best way to post a diagram is to set up an account in a file hosting service like Imgur, transfer the image into Imgur, and then copy the link from Imgur into your post by clicking on the 'mountain and sun' icon above the text box and pasting the link into the pop up window.

I will qualify my suggestion by stating clearly that I am a computor dinosaur and I still struggle with posting images, so I can't guarantee that my method will work for your 'file', but it works for me.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
I really need help. A few years ago, I started my layout. I was a complete novice then and so used a track plan from LifeLike's basics for begginers. I now hate it. It is on a 4x8 sheet of plywood with benchwork. I want to start over. I would like to have a nice double track mainline as long as possible with a boxcar loading dock on the layout, a few other random small industries (haven't decided which yet) and possibly an intermodal yard. I am focusing on 1980's onwards for my era. I freelance but I am picky about it being realistic, even if it doesn't exist. I have 6ft 3/4 inches by 11ft 2 inches. I tried to post a diagram with the current setup, but I am not sure it worked. Black lines are rail, and those big blue blocky things are a paper mache grade that crosses over the mainline, but no track is currently on it. There is a little extension, but it is a shelf with warped wood. Any new trackplan contributions or ideas would be really welcome. Let me know if you need more information about anything.
Edit: Anyone know how to upload a downloadable file on this post?
