Description

The track plan has two stations – a larger main station in front, whose main building is not represented (because of the control panel) and a smaller station in the opposite side. There are also several branches intended for various shunting/switching operations, mainly for goods, transported with flatcars and boxcars.

The whole route is divided into 3 electrically isolated blocks, each with its own DC power supply and operating wheel, allowing two trains to run on the double main line (green and blue colored tracks on the plan) and one more engine to operate in the main station shunting/switching area (yellow colored tracks on the plan). All turnouts are remote controlled too, but the uncoupling is decided to be manual, due to easy access to all tracks.

The layout is really small, measuring only 120cm x 60cm (approx. 2′ x 4′) and is very easy to be transported and stored when not in use.
