Every great layout starts with a great plan. In Track Planning
Made Easy by author David Popp, you'll learn how to design your own
model railroad from the ground up — whether you're drawing your very
first plan or refining your approach after a dozen builds. Step-by-step
guidance walks you through identifying usable space in your home,
choosing a theme, accurately drawing curves and turnouts, calculating
grades and easements, and working around real-world obstacles like
doors, windows, and plumbing. More than 30 plans and sketches illustrate
how finished designs were developed, with tips that can be applied to
layouts of any size or scale. From benchwork drawings to scenic
profiles, Track Planning Made Easy gives you every tool you need to
design a railroad worth building.
