[columbia23]

ln the 1970 issue of model railroad on page 60-63 there is a track plan of a layout "Built on a two-level compact layout" that's 3x7 l'm hoping with a 5x9 l can get a dbl main line in and everything else l would like to have in it? l remember the issue just not sure if l have it? Dose anyone have this issue?

hi Columbia,
the plan mentioned is described in the jan 1970 issue of Model Railroader.
I've been doodling a bit with the plan, always liked it.
You have to be careful by choosing a new minimum radius. Length wise you have 30% more space,
so the minimum radius could 30% or a bit less larger. A 15" radius seems quite possible.
I do not have the orginal magazine any more.
A second version can be found in "48 Top Notch Track Plans" as plan #4 on page 5
called the Mohawk & Hudson, built in a 7 x 2,5 space.


A far more elaborate plan can be built in your space, like this one:

Though a wee bit wider then the 5,5 feet you have.
Wish you the best
Paul
