1950's Era Short Line Model Railroad Layout Design
This is a Concept Design for an O-scale model railroad layout to fit a 20'x36' space. However, the same design in HO-scale could fit a 10'x18' space. This is a design meant for simple operation or just watching trains run by. The track plan is simple and uncomplicated. Scenery is varied between an urban area, a wharf, a farm community and rural landscape. Something for everyone. I do these designs just for fun. I hope you get some enjoyment and inspiration for your own model railroad.
