Southern Pacific Switching Layout

[shortliner]

Justin - the only way you will find what you want to model, is to pick a trackplan, put it together, and operate it for a week with boxes for mock-up buildings. If you aren't happy, take it apart and try another trackplan - if you are going to be in a dorm room - you will have VERY little room, and your room-mates are unlikely to be particularly carefull with your layout if you leave it out - this is what I have just shown last weekend at the Inverness Exhibition - yes it is small, simple, and collapses into its own box - which could have a lockable catch and live under your bed, or in the wardrobe - 5 minutes to erect, 5 minutes to take down - the rollingstock doesn't fit inside, but if you made it a little bigger yours could, together with a light, and the controller, and wall-wart power supply. It was designed to show parents that a model railway doesn't HAVE to take up a lot of room in a small house, apartment or dorm-room, and attracted far more attention than I expected.
