2008 2x8 Design Contest


Contest Rules:

Size: 24" x 96"

somewhere in or about a small agricultural town
no era limitations or location limits (in other words, it can be any time or place a railroad existed)

Although it should stand on it's own merit, your plan should be considered part of a larger layout. However, yard leads, yard tracks, interchange tracks, ends of wyes, etc. cannot extend off the 2 x 8 area.

The mainline, either double or single can connect to either side of the layout. Likewise, an interchange track can extend off any side of the layout, but any "interchange operations" must take place within the 2 x 8 boundaries. Likewise, any runaround needed for operation should be represented on the layout.

It should be assumed that there is adequate traffic and staging to justify the operations of the 2 x 8 space.
