Enlarging the layout

When designers of track plans make too many plans, they start acting strange. Maybe I’ve reached this stage, because most commonly round layouts are being drawn. These can be build into a coffee table. But before you know you’ll end up with a large piece of furniture, for European standards, in your home. But in America round layouts seem quite common. In the book by Mat Chibbaro [Mat Chibbaro: Model Railroading in Small Spaces] a round track plan for under the Christmas tree is published. Seen in this light, my redesign of the plan on the previous page is quite acceptable. The interchange track and factory have disappeared, but the rest remains the same. I’ve used PECO↗ tracks from the Setrack program.
