As is, the plan shows a pretty short height between under-layout staging and the layout.  There's only one staging track with a runaround so it might not be a huge problem, but still..

And you were right, there is a small interchange track with the MOPAC at the other end, but the MKT looks like it was the major interchange.

Yeah, that's it.  Thanks for looking it up for me.  I agree it's a good plan.  I thought they have all the track plans available for download online, but apparently not.  Thanks again.

The 2008 MRP has a 9x11 HO scale bedroom plan, Frisco's Clinton Subdivision.  It interchanges with the MKT.  I have the hard copy.  Not sure if its downloadable.

I think its a pretty neat plan for the small space.

MRP Track Plan
Posted by Uncle_Bob on Saturday, October 26, 2019 5:44 PM

I'm thinking of using a track plan from (I think) the 2009 Model Railroad Planning for a new layout.  The plan was for a bedroom-sized Frisco branch line that interchanged with Missouri Pacific.  I misplaced the magazine it was in, so I was.going to just download it from the MR track plan database.  Unfortunately, the search engine hasn't located it for me.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
