Here is my track plan as the layout is currently. It has a lot of short comings, most of wich I plan to correct during phase two construction.
I built this as a test bed for testing my bench work and track laying skills. When I started this project a few years ago I was concerned that I would have expansion and contraction issues because my layout is in an unfinished basement. So far I haven’t had any bench work or track work issues, derailments are very rare. My original plan was heavily influenced by the HOG layout plan.

The layout as built faithfully represents the track in the city of Columbia as it was in the time I’m modeling, 1963-64. The plan for phase two is to model the rest of the branch to its main line connection at Centralia.

I have built a railroad based on the HOG plan as well. A very good base to start from in my opinion.
