The Track Plan

If you are adding SurroundTraxx to an existing layout, you likely already

have a track plan in one form or another. Otherwise, the track plan is your

first opportunity to begin planning for sound. The track plan is a scale

drawing of your layout, reflecting its geographical realities: each curve, loop,

straightaway, etc. It is a helpful tool in identifying challenges and potential

tricky spots such as reverse loops and wyes.
