2′ x 4′ N scale track plan
A small N gauge model railway layout on 2′ x 4′. Neither slopes nor gradients, so a nice idea for beginners. Here designed for Fleischmann N scale tracks, but this track plan idea should also work for other N scale manufacturers.
2′ x 4′ N scale layout
What is it all about? A single track line in an idyllic landscape. The main line is designed as an oval, because more than an oval is hardly possible on a small 2′ x 4′ model railway layout. Model trains can pass on an extra track at the romantic little station.
Two additional dead-end tracks are for a short shuttle passenger train or commuter. A few sidings for freight wagons complete this small N scale model railroad layout. However, long model trains don’t fit this 2′ x 4′ N scale track plan idea.
Worth to mention: The station building lies between the tracks. Travelers and passengers have to cross the track to reach the parking space and the station buliding. Not usual, but a very charming scenic setting!
