 Chris -

 May I suggest that you instead of posting a one-line question (and then not taking part in your own thread, as you have done in the last 4 one-line question threads you have started), you instead try to explain a little more thoroughly what you are looking for and why you are looking for that ?

 Are you looking for a layout design that would fit into a room you have in your home ? If so, instead of hoping that someone somewhere has a layout that would fit into the room you have available, try to design your own layout plan.

 It isn't all that hard, if you start simple. Take a measuring tape or yard stick and go measure your room, and then make a drawing of the room, along with a description of your room (size, where doors and windows are, other uses of the room your layout have to co-exist with), tell us what scale you want to model in, and what aspects of the MoPac you are interested in modeling. 

 Here is a link to page of the type of questions a for-hire layout designer ask his customers - the kind of things you should think through, and decide on for yourself, even if you were to hire someone else to do your layout planning for you: http://www.layoutvision.com/id13.html.

 Note that he says explicitly on his page that you don't have to have an firm and final answer for every single question on the web page above.

 But these are things your should at least think through. Because everyone has different wishes for what we want on our layouts. What you want on your MoPac layout may not be the same as someone else would want on his MoPac layout.

 Just ask here if the questions use terms you don't know or if you need to discuss ideas.

 Good luck in coming up with a better description of what you are looking for (and finding it :-)

 Smile,
 Stein
