An oval and figure 8 was the track plan of my childhood 5ft x 9ft Holiday layout. I had to have it for the basis of my layout I build starting in 1977 and added a loop outside the oval and figure 8 to allow two train operation.
Below is the diagram control panel showing the track plan and the $10 Homemade turntable. Layout building details are at OGR forum https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...ra-027-layout?page=1
Here a little Marx 467110 box car, a rare train garage sale find today for me around here. It was real cheap and is missing the plastic spade part of one coupling. I may have one I can J B weld on.
