The “Michigan”

I have a 14’ x 18’ Patio that I want to enclose and I’m searching for a track plan that will work for me. This is my 1st time looking into the Layout section of your Magazine. With so many layout plans to look through, I know my winter days ahead will be rewarded with Model Railroader’s useful databanks. Thanks for being a modelers encyclopedia. Charlie

what a beautiful layout like the rest of the ones you mates design!!!

Where do you turn the trains around ? It’s a big oval that is nice to do continous running of long trains, I’m doing something similar to this on the 64 inch level of my tri level, with the middle used for yards and lower level, 40 inch the industrial swiching. There should be a wye or loop to turn trains.

Actually, this plan first appearing in Model Railroad Planning 2010, pp. 46-47.
