Anyone have a all track plan for a ON30 layout?

Hi Chris,

This micro-layout website has lots of ideas for small narrow gauge layouts.

You can also adapt any small HO layout to On30.

Usually, 18" radius is used for On30, but if you will only be running a Porter or gas-mechanical, you can bend your own curves down to 12" radius or even smaller.

That micro website has lots of examples of guys doing amazing things in very small spaces using tight curves and limited equipment. But, all can be stretched to fit a bigger area. It's really good for getting ideas for different layout themes and interesting scenery.

Chris, a couple of years ago, OGR featured a small NG layout that was eye catching.  Maybe Allan can recall the issue.

I have made a lot of changes on my layout and had to pull up my ON30 track to make those changes, but as soon as it cools down so I can work in my crappy garage, I will be making the dust fly, no pun intended.

Chris,

You can certainly borrow my 4x4 design I did a while back for Atlas HO. Never got built, but I think it could be used for an On30 layout.

I am planning a new layout with On3 . . . . .

I was looking at an elbow under our dining room in the basement:

U shaped with 6' run on each side with a long 10' middle...  Thinking shay logging operation...
