Doug...I'm a little puzzled on this, and not just because of my advancing age, although it's nice to blame SOMETHING. Here's another take on this...no H0 4 X 8 plan ever fits an N scale 2 x 4 proerly, because N is not 1/2 the size of H0, it's larger than that, by nearly 9%. That being said, an H0 4 X 8 layout plan should always fit an N scale 3 x 6 board, quite easily. I think what may have thrown you off was enlarging that plan to 3 x 6..in reality, the relationship of the turnouts to the tracks needed to change, and your 3 x 6 photocopy didn't allow that. I think you needed to enlarge the plan only to 2 x 4, and then cut it up to fit it to your 3 foot table top...in this way, you'd have been forced to insert additional trackage here & there. An additional trick would have been to get Kinko to photocopy a bunch of your actual turnouts, and used these pictures to assist in the laying out of the design. Regards / The Hindsight Guy / Mike
