Gargraves is generally associated with three-rail O gauge and S-tinplate layouts. If that's what you're working on, you might find more answers over on Kalmbach's Classic Toy Trains magazine's forum.

Hello All,

Welcome

Which GarGraves layout are you basing your iterations on?

In what scale are you trying to reproduce the layout?

Have you considered other track plan suggestions, in other scales, that could be converted to fit your needs/space?

The great folks on these forums can provide the beneficial answers you seek by answering the above questions.

Good luck with your endeavors and, as always...

Hope this helps.

Trouble creating gargraves layout
Posted by JTrain45 on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 11:35 AM

Hey guys,

I am having trouble trying to create a gargraves layout in a 4' x 22' area that will be able to run two trains simultaneously, have a reverseing loop, as well as have a small switching yard, while keep things intresting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
