Great, basement-filling model railroads, such as Tony Koester's Allegheny Midland, Allen McClelland's Virginian & Ohio, and a host of others have set the standard to which many modelers aspire. Such layouts are shining examples of what can be achieved by gifted, well-organized modelers over an extended period. However, not every modeler has the time, space, energy, or resources to engage a layout project of such a grand scale.
Inside the pages of Mid-sized & Manageable Track Plans, lain Rice, a frequent contributor to Model Railroader and Model Railroad Planning magazines, provides a number of practical HO and N scale layout designs aimed to help you develop a model railroad that's just as engaging as any super-sized layout. Each layout design includes:
Detailed, full-color track plan rendered in refreshing watercolors
Layout dimensions
Prototype railroad background, including historical photographs
Modeling suggestions for appropriate motive power, rolling stock, structures, and scenery
Mid-sized & Manageable Track Plans is filled with ideas and advice for designing an impressive layout that best suits your space and model railroading interests.
