Planning your track for your scale model railroad layout can be tricky. Using standard switches and track sections makes assembly easier than hand laying track or even cutting flexible track to length. The challenge is planning it out beforehand. A good track plan will help you set your wish list for future purchases. It will also assure you that you will have the size curves and switches that you need to run your favorite trains. Modeling scenes and industries can be planned to increase the realism and fun of your railroad. As your scenery and railroad matures you may want to add passing sidings, more switches in a holding yard, and some new scenic features. A scale drawing of your track plan and layout can be the key to future success and averted disappointments. It’s easier to modify a plan at the design stage than it is once you have started building or operating your railroad.
