Hundreds of ready-made model railway track plans to browse and enjoy, made by model railroaders and shared with each other. Browse by scale - H0, N, O, and other common gauges - to find plans in the scale you run. Filter by vendor and track system, so you only see plans built with the track you already own. Explore the layout itself, not just a picture of it. Pinch to zoom, pan freely, and tap any track piece for its details. Open the part list for any plan and export it as text. Use it to price a build or order the pieces. Like the plans you find worth keeping. You can sort the whole catalog by popularity, so the ones people like most are easy to find. Train Layouts shows track plans, it does not edit them. Design your own layouts in RailModeller Pro or RailModeller Express on the Mac, then open them on your iPhone or iPad, for example through iCloud Drive.
