An interesting clinic presented at the NMRA MCR “Thoroughbred Limited” Convention May 13-18, 2015 by Philip Gliebe. It's interesting as this is an American looking largely at UK branch line layouts for inspiration. 'Shelf layouts' in the USA are often (but not always) the equivalent to the UK terminus to fiddle-yard layout. Some of his…

Here's a walk-through of top rated model railroad shelf layout plans that you can use for ideas when building your own model train layout.
It is time for me to update this introduction. In fact it is way past time! (today is November 10, 2020) I am now starting on my third shelf layout. The first was meant to be a "chainsaw" layout. A place to experiment and learn but not last long. It was around for nine years. Before The end of that time I started another layout. This time it was more of a prototype layout. It was based on the Santa Fe McPherson (Kansas) branch. The four 6'x18" sections of that layout will hopefully be incorporated into a new bedroom sized layout. I expect the McPherson theme to continue. This blog is the story of my three shelf layouts...so far. I am starting construction on my 8'x2' shelf Kansas Pacific layout. No, sorry, it is not set in the 1860's to 1880's. My time frame is kind of broad - 1965 to 1980. During that time when I went to college, lived and worked in Kansas. I rode the train to and from school my freshman and sophomore years, Lived in KC, Kan. and worked in a corn mill in North KC, MO. Went back to grad school and eventually worked in McPherson, KS for 4 years. McPherson was served by 4 (count 'em, 4!) Class 1 railroads. The Rock Island main line, and branches of the ATSF, UP, and MoPac. Was crazy. I wish I had more pictures and notes from my time there. My current project is a small town on the plains. I took a section of a plan from Ian Rice's "Shelf Layouts" book and made a few changes. Mostly, I needed to create a runaround and I have added some interchange/staging tracks to give me a little more reason to exist. I have been out of model railroading for a few years and decided this would be a good way to get back into it. I am also short of space at the moment. I hope this project could be incorporated into a larger layout in the future. I would also like some (maybe a lot 📷 advice on the cutting of hardboard (Masonite (sp?)) for a backdrop and fascia. What tool should I use? I have a saber saw, a table saw, a circular saw, hand saws... A 4x8 sheet of hard board is kind of awkward. I'll accept any and all suggestions. I have some pictures of my shelf construction I'll post as soon as I get them off the camera, sized to post and figure out how to post them here...

Hello All, This is my first attempt at a "build blog". I have bin vicariously enjoying the hobby through YouTube for the past 6-7 years. It is amazing how you can learn so much and really enjoy peoples wonderful layouts through the internet. Now that I am finally able to get back into the hobby, I am going to start with a small switching layout. This will primarily be an opportunity to really dial in so many modeling techniques I have learned online. 📷 📷 I have herd so many times "model what you know".... and I think that holds a lot of weight. I grew up in central NJ and am going to attempt to model Winter. Not with a foot of snow on the ground but with that cold, dirty, dead vegetation time of the year. Mike Confalone's Allagash railway really captures that feeling I am looking for. Although he is modeling late winter / early spring, he does an amazing job of bringing you right there into that season... I live in Florida now and almost want to put on a coat looking at the pictures / videos of his layout. 📷 Ok so now for my Layout.... It is 18" x 8' shelf bracket design. I saw this style from a YouTube channel named Mog. A very simple, inexpensive design that can easily work in my office / spare bedroom in my ap art ment. 📷 📷 Two identical shelves with a simple router design on the edge. I went with a lightweight construction so I can easily move it when my wife and I move into a house next year. I am using Micro Engineering Code 70 flex track and turnouts, I am powering the frogs using frog juicers by TamValleyDepot.com. 📷 Two cheap 3 foot LED lights from Home Depot are a perfect fit and give the perfect amount of "Daylight" I was looking for. I will be posting progress during my time home from work each month. I travel 2 weeks then have 2 weeks home. Hope you stick around and see what kind of mess I get into 📷
I'd like to get some feedback regarding what you guys think of a new modular shelf layout design. I'm hoping it will be a good challenge without becoming too frustrating. Not exactly like a "timesaver puzzle" but also not as easy as a simple yard. 📷 I'm sharing the design and a fully operational TrainPlayer file so you can actually try it out (You will need TrainPlayer software, a free demo is here: http://www.trainplayer.com/Site3/DemoRegistration.html) Here is the zip file: http://" > https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0Ow27eMfiQMMEFWZV9qekVUaDZQQV9QUEtKZFdPUQ" > http:// https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0Ow27eMfiQMMEFWZV9qekVUaDZQQV9QUEtKZFdPUQ I welcome any comments, suggestions, frustrations, etc. either reply to this post or at my blog: http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/7503 a bit more about the design: New Annieville is a medium sized HO scale switching layout on a two foot shelf of 12 foot length. The design principles include a strong industrial supply chain focus and tightly spaced urban setting. New Annieville is designed with expandability in mind. As well as the mainline extending to the right, there are curved tracks leaving at both front and rear of the shelf, allowing either peninsula or through-wall expansion. Features include: - Spots for up to 15 industries - One medium offset runaround and one small mainline runaround ensure operational challenges - Switchback and direct spurs - Appealing visuals o Diamond crossing near front o Long viewing angles o Some angled industries o “main street” background area o Mix of “flats”, low profile, angled half-structures, and full structures - Expandable and modular compatible Flexible alterations: - With very little effort the layout could be squeezed into a slimmer shelf (16” to 18”) but the scenic possibilities for structures would be sacrificed. - As drawn, the leftmost 3 feet are tapered off to ease room entry, however, this same section could be straightened into a connector for additional modular expansion. - A 90 degree crossing mainline could easily be added to the right of the curved expansion tracks, to join the through-wall and peninsula modules.
