New website with free layouts and track plans
New website with free layouts and track plans
Hello all
There is a new website for collect together model train track plans and layouts in all scales and sizes, build with SCARM layout design software. Here is the link:
Free Model Railway Track Plans & Layouts
Most of the content in the site is created by SCARM users and sent to me by e-mail. Some of the layouts are already presented in SCARM blog, but there are new projects and more will come soon. At the moment, I am editing and uploading all stuff, but in the near future I plan to add support for user registrations, so everybody to be able to create an account and to upload projects in the site.
You can browse the projects in the site or search and filter the track plans by several criteria, such as scale, size, trackage and so on. In example, the following link will show the railroad layouts and plans in 00 scale, listed in the site (actually it is only one plan for now). Every project has its own page, where it is presented with more pictures, described with many parameters (such as minimum radius, maximum grade, suitable traffic, etc.) and sometimes explained by me or by its author. All (or almost all) published layouts will have corresponding SCARM files ready to be downloaded from the links at bottom in the layout’s page. There is also an option for each project to be rated with rating stars from 1 to 5 – this is located below the description.
The site is optimized for smartphones and tables, so you can browse it almost anywhere and anytime. Some pictures may not look very detailed on the phone screens, but in overall you can get a good impression even from 320×480 sized cell phone displays.
At the moment, there is no option for commenting below the layouts, but such feature may appear in the future. The site is now in beta state and needs to be used for some period in real environment to see how it performs, is it easy and useful, etc. So please, try it and comment here what do you think about it. And if you have some cool SCARM layout or track plan that you want to share with others, just send your .scarm project file to me at
Hope you will like the site and will get many ideas from it even if you don’t use SCARM for track planning

Re: New website with free layouts and track plans
Thanks. Book-marked.
Re: New website with free layouts and track plans
The track plans and layouts in the database are growing - now there are more than 40 projects of all scales and sizes. Here are the most searched categories so far:
HO scale track plans (all sizes)
N gauge track plans (all sizes)
Small train layouts & track plans (all gauges)
One small, high-rated plan in HO: Compact Railroad Layout in HO scale
And a small, high-rated plan in N: Ikea IVAR Shelftop Railway Layout in N Scale
I hope that everybody will find something interesting and inspiring there

Did you know, that...
...you can search in the database by track plans, virtual layouts and real operational layouts.
A track plan keyword means only a track route without any other elements or objects on the plot, which allows you to finish it by your choice with adding of scenery objects like roads, buildings, industries, etc. See here all model railway track plans in the database.
A virtual layout keyword is used to describe a partial or complete layout design which includes all or almost all objects needed for realistic look and operations. See here all model railroad layouts in the database.
A true operational layout keyword is used to mark all projects in the database that are already build in the reality, based on initial track plans and designs, created in SCARM. See these real model train layouts with the initial designs and the real pictures together.
Hope that this will help you to find the right track plan or layout, just for you

Re: New website with free layouts and track plans
The Peco Setrack Station Plan in N scale link above is wrong.
The correct link is www.scarm.info/layouts/track_plans.php?ltp=54.
