I like the track plan on page 50 of the 2005 track planning book. I would like to build it in N . Any thoughts on how big and if it could be done with Atlas track. Cox 47

Hello "Cox 47,"

Scott Osterweil's industrial switching track plan from page 50 of "Model Railroad Planning 2005' could be built as an N scale layout measuring 6.5" x 38.8". Or make it 8" x 42" to let it spread out just a little while remaining very compact. There's no reason it couldn't be built with Atlas track, but some adjustment might be needed for the differences in turnout geometry – Scott designed the original plan for Peco turnouts.

So long,

Andy
