Branchline railroading is a great subject for a spare room layout. In this 3D rendering by MRVP’s Ben Lake, you’ll see how layout designer Bowen Tubbs neatly fit a scheme for an HO scale Milwaukee Road branch into a 12 x 17 space. In addition to accommodating multiple industries, the plan also highlights rail-marine activities.

  1. Great layout for a medium size room with lots of operating potential. I am curious though about the tug boat sitting back against the wall next to the backdrop divider that doesn't appear to resting in water or at least not on bench work tinted blue. Restaurant maybe? Great design.

  2. Nice, simple track plan. The chosen area is really a scenic place with trees and waterways. A lot of the former MILW R-O-W there still exists as a trail.

  3. Excellent track plan for a smaller layout. Like the operating potential as well as the ability to run trains for viewing. Great scenery possibilities.

  4. Quick and concise analysis of efficient track plan. Excellent graphics. I liked background music.

  5. The leg of a WYE could also be concealed in the peninsula, further increasing operating potential.
