A Suggestion
I like the track plans for Model Railroader subscribers. But—
about 75% of all model layouts are of the 4’ x 8’ variety. A higher
% than that of all layouts is under 100 square feet. Those of us who need the most help are new modelers. Most 4’ x 8’ layouts
are first time builders and we need help more than seasoned builders. I would suggest you make at least 1/2 of all layout plans
the 4’x 8’ variety.
In fact, you should have a new size category for layouts, one
of “Up to 33 square feet” and fully half of the layouts displayed should be of the 4’ x 8’ type. In stead, you have only 55 plans in the “Under 100” list.
Maybe you think small layouts are for kids. I’m building my first and second layouts this year- I’m 72. Even if most are young
they need more help, and can grow into useful customers.
Thank you for your consideration of my suggestion.
Frateschi is a traditional Brazilian HO railroad modeler seller , with lots of own good quality products.
I would like to see more layouts designed for On30. It is difficult ot visualize O scale trains on HO track and then design an enjoyable track plan. 99% of your plans are either N or HO. Couldn’t we have more On30 so that we can utilize products such as this one?
Thx
I AGREE THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR ON30 TRACK PLANS. THIS WEB SIGHT ADVERTISES 555 TRACK PLANS BUT WHEN I ASKED FOR ON30 IT CAME BACK 0 FOUND. I’M JUST SWITCHING TO ON30 FROM AN INTEREST IN HO WHICH HAS JUST GOTTEN TOO SMALL FOR OLD EYES AND HANDS.
CAN’T INVISION WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WILL MEAN IN APPEARANCE AND ROOM ON THE LAY OUT. MAY JUST HAVE TO ORDER AN INEXPENSIVE LOCO AND A COUPLE CARS TO SEE.
