This third installment of our John Armstrong series includes reprints of Model Railroader articles from the mid-1950s. This new PDF article collection includes room-size track plans as well as ideas for building shelf-type layouts using Ping-Pong tables. Among the room-size plans featured are a few based on the Pennsylvania RR's famed Horseshoe Curve. You'll also find clever ideas for designing a small layout, even if the only space available to you is an 8 x 8-foot square. (24 pages, 10.7 MB) Here are the track plans included in this set:

• Feather River Route
• The Square Pike Blues
