Basic Track Plan This is a hands-on guide to drawing and designing a model railroad that will fit the available space and result in a realistic layout. This includes your basic track plan. Benchwork Footprints In creating a design, conceptually we are dealing with two primary elements. First we have the benchwork footprint style (shelf, shelf with peninsula, island, etc.). Next, we have the track plan’s mainline route (point to point, continuous run, or return loop), which we will draw/overlay on the benchwork.
