NOW AVAILABLE!  "8 Realistic Track Plans For a Spare Room", explores themes such as a Milwaukee Road branch line, Maine shortline,  Appalachian coal branch,  the fictional Tulsa Belt (shown on the cover) and more.  In my previous switching layout book I limited the plans to those that followed the walls.  In this version I use the same room template (11 foot by 12 foot room) but allow the bench work to utilize the entire room via a center peninsula.
