I have been without a permanent home layout for several years. The good news is I have started construction of a new N scale layout set in Idaho USA, based loosely on the Yellowstone branch north of Pocatello, through Idaho Falls to Ashton in 1974 – or thereabouts. The design track plan, though now highly refined, borrows from a plan produced by Bob’s Track Plans<\/a>. The base plan is CSX Indianapolis Sub in N Scale<\/a>.\u00a0 My available space has numerous constraints I need to adapt to gain the maximum opportunity including:<\/p>\n The room measures 2.9m wide by 5.15m long (9’6″ by 16’11”).<\/p>\n Some of the goals I have for this layout include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/modelrailroadsadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/UPMap_YellowStoneBranch.jpg” title_text=”UPMap_YellowStoneBranch” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk4MSJ9fQ==@” button_text=”Download Design” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”977,978″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/modelrailroadsadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IdahoFallsConcept-1.jpg” title_text=”Idaho Falls Concept” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”935,936,938,937,939,940,941,934,948,949,950,951,952,953,954,955,959,960,961,984,985,986,1001,1002,1003,1006,1007,1008,1010,1011,1016,1028,1029,1030,1031,1032,1033,1034,1035,1036,1037,1038,1039,1040,1041,1042,1050,1052,1053,1054,1055,1056,1057,1058,1059,1051,1062,1063,1064,1065,1066,1067,1068,1079,1080,1081,1082,1083,1084,1085,1086,1087,1088,1089,1090,1091,1092,1093,1094,1107,1108,1109,1110,1111,1112,1113,1114,1115,1116,1117,1118,1119″ posts_number=”8″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former N Scale Layout – now demolishedI have been without a permanent home layout for several years.
