    Layout Plan=Conrail 1979 PENN/NY line.

    lol its 1/2 Inch = 1 foot. Its almost 11 feet by 3 foot at the wide end and 1 foot at the narrow end. Trust me there is lots of room to have alot of track work. Im handlaying the track so I can make the turnouts tight and prolly #6's if not 5's in the yards.
