[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SpaceMouse</i> <br /><br />Even if you go with a published track plan, you need to draw out the plan--preferably on one of the tracvk designe programs. The published plans are drawn for publishing and are not necessarily drawn to scale. I once drew a plan from 101 that was supposed to be 6 inched x 8 feet shelf layout. By the time I got all the turnouts and turns in, the layout was 9 inchess by 11 feet.[/quote] <br /> <br />Chip, <br /> <br />Which layout was this? I, too, have 101 track plans. I've been planning my shelf layout in CAD. Occasionally I'll open up the good 'ol 101 book, and think, "wow, those guys back then were sure better at get more track in their layouts than I am!". <br /> <br />Maybe they weren't in fact after all, huh?
