The example track plan above defines a layout for the Rio Grande Southern

Railroad. We chose this layout because it showcases an 11' x 14' area which

would be a common bedroom or basement-style layout.

You may wish to indicate on the track plan any elements of your layout

that you’d like to complement with ambient sound effects. Ambient sound

effects would include adding echo and/or reverb to tunnels, canyons or other

features that may benefit from these special effects. See page 2:26 for more

information about ambient sound effects.

You’ll want to revisit your track plan after creating a schematic and

determining the block boundaries, as these resources together are a great

help in defining the sound zones.

Drawing the Schematic

Unlike a track plan, the schematic omits the geographical proportions of the

layout, symbolically representing track elements such as sidings, wyes, and

roundhouses.
