Model train layout, to scale
The track plan, the turnouts, the scenery and the table of a model railway.
The plan opens on "Table", a 2.44 m (8' 0") by 1.22 m (4' 0") rectangle (2.98 m² (32 sq ft)) that you correct to your own measurements. Already in place: 2 × flex track, 2 × half-circle of track, model station, terrain or mountain, control panel.
No account needed, right away.
How to use it
- Give the table its true dimensions.
- Lay the straight and curved tracks end to end: the pieces come in HO scale sizes.
- For another scale, change the size of the pieces in their properties.
- Add the turnouts, the station, the terrain and the control panel.
- Keep everything within arm's reach: no more than 75 cm (30 in) from the edge of the table.
What Planimonde calculates for this plan
- The length of each side, written along the line and corrected with one click.
- The area of each closed outline and of each zone you mark out.
- Wall thickness: your measurements apply to the inside, the outside or the centre line, as you choose.
- The closing gap when on-site measurements contradict each other, and where it lies.
- The clearance to leave in front of each item, to suggest other layouts without overlap.
- The scale of the PDF, with a reference bar to check with a ruler once the page is printed.
