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.
