I have designed a large number of layouts over the years. These are all operating layouts, that is they all have an operating plan behind them and can be run as real railroads in their own right. Most need some form of staging others have staging right on the layout itself.

This section provides a working description of the layouts and how I believe they “could” be operated. How you decide to operate them of course is up to you.

Use the links from the menu above to go to small, medium or large layout designs. Additionally there’s a growing section on drawn layout ideas for you to look at too.
