This is the latest track plan for Dales Peak set in the Derbyshire Peak District. This is a shed based, OO Gauge, modern image, DCC, model railway.

This was the last track plan for the loft. The track plan was continually evolving and I enjoyed planning the layout as much as building it. It is drawn up in Adobe Illustrator at 1:10th scale and divided into 180mm squares, which I can print out individually. These are then pasted directly onto the layout to give me a guide to work to.

This was the track plan for the Mk4 ‘Dales Peak’ layout. I think it is worth keeping this old track plan here because it is still relative to the older posts on the blog.

There were two levels to the layout. The lower level track is in red and the upper level in purple, with the inclines in yellow.

Track progress – For the old track plan

The old track plan is a vision of how the finished layout was intended to look, but this is a record of how far that vision progressed.

Just to keep things in perspective, and to make it obvious how much work there was still to do, I have ‘ghosted’ the track plan of the complete layout in the background.

So, the black track represents the extent of track laid, with track highlighted in yellow denoting that previously laid, and red highlighted track being the latest additions.
