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.
