Super Simple N Scale Switching Layout

Here is an extremely easy-to-build, 48" x 6" N scale switching layout. There is no scenery, just a simple, nicely stained board with some Kato Unitrack and a battery-powered throttle.

It only takes about an hour to build, though if you stain the wood that hour will be spread out over a couple of days since you will have to wait for the stain to dry. The layout is designed to handle eight 50' freight cars.
