City Classics Show Layout
Posted by derf on Friday, July 20, 2012 9:18 AM

I've seen photos of the City Classics layout and it looks like what I'm searching for. A continous loop with some switching in a compact area.

Does anyone have the track plan with diminsions?

 

Thanks,

Woodman

derf,

Why don't you contact Jim(?) at City Classics directly?  He would probably be more than glad to give you that information.

It was featured in the "Gumstumping" issue of Carl Arendt's Small Layout Scrapbook.
[scroll down about 3/4]

The layout is 3' x 10' (two 5' sections) in HO.

If you do it in N, you can use two 2' x 4' "Handy Panels" and you get a bit more space in the center.

A similar idea (two sections, portable, island) for consideration is Tim Diez's "Summer Layout" in N scale.  Two smaller "corner desk" sections connected to make a large "S" ish shape.  Definitely doesn't look like a sheet of plywood or a Hollow Core Door!

Hope this helps.
