"8 Realistic Track Plans For a Spare Room", explores themes such as a Milwaukee Road branch line, Maine shortline, Appalachian coal branch, the fictional Tulsa Belt (shown on the cover) and more. In my previous switching layout book I limited the plans to those that followed the walls. In this version I use the same room template (11ft. by 12ft. room) but allow the bench work to utilize the entire room via a center peninsula.
