Model Forum / General / Railroads / June 2004Switching layouts
I'm looking for information about bookshelf switching layouts and am hoping there are some online that I can visit - any suggestions?

I didn't bookmark it and haven't been able to find it again. Anybody know of something like this, running on Java or Flash?

I ordered the May 2001 issue of MR and I'm looking forward to seeing the trackplan. About the best site I've found that offers both a trackplan and photos is the Proto 87 layout based on the PRR (surprising how many of these "shunting" layouts are in the UK!) http://www.nmrabr.freeuk.com/p87/home.htm If anyone can come up with some US-built online layouts that offer not only photos but complete track plans, please give me the URL. Thanks again! SignatureFrank Eva http://www.digitalrailroader.org > You've all been very helpful and I thank you! I ordered the May 2001 issue > of MR and I'm looking forward to seeing the trackplan. There's also the "Roque Bluffs" or something like that, a multi- part series in MR starting in Oct 2003. BTW, don't order the issues - if you don't have them, go to your local library - mine has several years worth on hand. SignatureWhere ARE those Iraqi WMDs? (snip) > Where ARE those Iraqi WMDs? Probably in the insurance office, along with all the other Waivers of Monthly Deductions. 8-) Frank, The first "real" layout that I built was based on a plan in one of the Atlas plan books. It had lots of neat features including a small yard, a runaround trackseveral sidings & a wye for turning an engine and a car. It was only about 18-22" wide and was an "L" shape approximately 12 x 6. I still have it up and it was a lot of fun but it has been replaced by my much larger second layout. dlm > You've all been very helpful and I thank you!

Yes, I think that was the one I was remembering. Now I remember why I didn't bookmark it - it only works with Microslut's browser and I use Mozilla.

Not online, but one of the best urban switching layouts I've seen was a 2x10 footer in the May 2001 Model Railroader.

The article from Model Railroader is on-line, but unfortunately the track plan isn't. http://www.trains.com/content/dynamic/articles/000/000/002/264hnvum.asp > The article from Model Railroader is on-line, but unfortunately the track > plan isn't. > http://www.trains.com/content/dynamic/articles/000/000/002/264hnvum.asp Thank you for the link, Mark. SignatureBrian www.accesswave.ca/~orion Practice safe eating - always use condiments. The small-layout-design group at yahoogroups (http://groups.yahoo.com) has quite a few members (including carl arendt) who don't mind sharing information. They have two overflow groups just so they can keep all the layouts archived.
