Nice HO scale track plan with main line in oval, passing through small station, then turning counterclockwise next to the yard, going over the bridge and then around the residential area and finally grading into figure “8” in the center.

Description
The track plan is suitable for simultaneous running of two trains – one in the outer oval and one more in the figure “8” in the middle area. As currently designed, the plan has only one entry/exit point from the outer line to the inner figure “8”, but can be easily modified in two ways, for two different solutions:
Solution 1 - adding of 2 more crossovers (4 turnouts), placed in the station area in order to allow one more exit/entry route between the two lines.
Solution 2 - adding of just one crossover (2 turnouts), placed in the upper left area in order to allow one more transition between the two lines.
