Layout and Design You can design your layout to perfectly fit any room. Begin by drawing your room size on the Grid located in your instruction booklet (or click here to open a printable copy - must have Acrobat Reader installed). You may want to make copies and tape the copies together if your room size is larger. Be sure to consider your electrical outlets. Mark the doors (and the door sweep areas), windows, vents, closets, bathrooms, posts, etc. so that your Grid is an exact replica of your room. Cut out the patterns, ruler and templates from the Layout Design Sheet located in your instruction booklet (or click here to open a printable copy - must have Acrobat Reader installed). You may want to make several copies of this sheet depending on the number of modules you will need to make your layout. Now design your layout with the module patterns, moving them around to give you the best layout possible for your room. You can refer to books and magazines for ideas. Allow for mountainous areas, bridges, waterways, buildings and turnouts. Once you have planned your layout, glue or trace the module patterns onto the Grid. Remember, modules can be customized to perfectly fit your room. |

Templates
and Track Plan
| Radius Templates
are used to make curves, depending on scale and railcars you are using.
There are other track radii available. We recommend that you do not
make tighter curves than those on the template. Turnouts are special pieces of track that you can purchase at your local hobby shop. Turnouts are places on your track where you want your train to deviate from the main line: such as railyards, depots, loading docks, etc. The turnout templates (#4, #6 and #8) are three options available to you. When laying out an S curve you must place a straight section of track in between the two curves. This is necessary so your train will not derail. It should be at least the length of your longest railcar. Click here to open a printable copy of this template (must have Acrobat Reader installed) . Once your plan is completed, use colored pencils to create your layout so you can distinguish your tunnels, water, bridges and other features. Now take your layout to your local hobby shop and they will help you select the right track. Purchase the kits you will need to begin building your dream layout...one module at a time. |
