Welcome to FreeTrackPlans.com - the home of model railway layout plans. There are 400 model train set and model railway designs ranging from small branch line stations to cement terminals and even large city termini, perfect for your Hornby, Bachmann and Heljan trains to run on! The plans are designed for OO gauge or HO scale track but can easily be adjusted for other track types.
- Designs of various sizes are in Layout Plans
- Layouts for Britain's top manufacturer are in Hornby Plans
- Real life designs can be found in Prototype Plans
- You may find some interesting layout shapes in Wooden Railway
Most plans have been designed using HO gauge / OO gauge set-track with some sections of flexible track. Many of the designs have first radius curves that will not be suitable for all types of rolling stock. However, the ideas here can be developed further using other types of track, provided that you have the space to accommodate larger radius curves and pointwork.
Plans on this site have been designed using AnyRail track planning software, available from www.anyrail.com. The files used to make the plans can be found on the download page, meaning you can view the required parts and adjust them for your own requirements. Plans could also be adapted in Anyrail for other scales including N gauge and TT gauge.
This site has been set up to provide inspiration for those planning a model railway, whether it’s a simple train set or a complex model railroad with several trains running at once. Most of the plans are based on prototype locations, and are designed to give a feel of the location instead of copying every single detail. The accuracy of the track plans will therefore vary, but with some careful scenic work they have the potential to be modelled and recognised as a specific location.
