One thought on “The Great Northern layout in N scale

  1. I have been looking for a track plan. Thing is, this bench appears to be the exact same size as my bench. I don’t have 2 mains but, that is an easy fix. I have some ideas about the layout but, have struggled. This track plan has helped me formulate some of my ideas.
