This reference book offers 42 track plans as a source of ideas for building your own model railway - from small layouts for confined spaces to superlative model railway layouts. Some track plans are based on real existing picturesque track layouts, no matter whether the railway runs through the Alps or on a Baltic Sea island. Others depict large well-known station areas or reconstruct long-dismantled railway lines and historic stations. The plans list the technical data and provide information on the dimensions of the railway slab as well as the required track material. With the help of graphics you can study how the trains run. Since the plans can be changed at will, you can optimally adapt them to your own wishes.
