train waits on the second siding for a loco. The second loco is on the third siding taking on a tankful of water. Trees line the layout. Roads cross the tracks. Platforms stand ready for passengers and freight. Of course, you don't have to use the same trains, the same structures or any of the same features. Just use your imagination, and visualize something fun. Layout 6 2,7 x 1,6 m 1510000 1511000 2 12000 1 12100 29

Layout 7 lets you move freight among three industries. At the saw mill, the train picks up log cars. At the refinery, the train delivers tank cars. At the farm, the train picks up stock cars. Notice that all of the sidings on this layout work in the same direction. Because it is arranged this way, a train traveling counter-clockwise on the oval can easily back cars into each siding. Layout 8 also offers three sidings, but all the sidings are inside the oval. This makes the layout very compact and perfect for small areas indoors. The entire layout is only 2490 mm long and 1590 mm wide (98 in long and 63 in wide), with a total area of less than four square meters (42 square feet). Despite the small size of the layout, the sidings are straight. It is much easier to couple and uncouple cars on straight track sections. More Ways to Grow The LGB track expansion sets are a great way to grow your starter set circle, but they're not the only way. The LGB program includes more than 30 different track sections, and they can be combined in an infinite number of ways. To start your exploration of the LGB track program, use some of the basic track sections from the earlier layouts: 10000 Straight Track, 300 mm 11000 Curved Track, R1, 30° 12000 Manual Switch, Right, R1 12100 Manual Switch, Left, R1 And add a few new sections, like the: 10150 Straight Track, 150 mm 13000 Crossing, 30° 15000 Curved Track, R2, 30° The classic "figure-eight" layout (Layout 9) is loved by children of all ages. Why? It is very simple to build, requiring just two different track sections: 11000 and 13000. Also, it offers continuous visual movement; that is, your perspective on the train is constantly changing. Will the crossing cause electrical problems, like short circuits? No, the two straight sections within the crossing are electrically isolated from each other. The frogs—the points where the rails intersect—are made of plastic to prevent short circuits caused by metal wheels. Hint: Look closely at the Layout 9 track diagram, just left of the crossing. You can see that the track sections do not meet exactly. That's OK. The computer program used to draw these diagrams can only work with inflexible numbers. However, with LGB track, there is
