Show us your Track Diagrams

Here's mine, basically double track out and back to a terminus....

Here is the track plan I made of our GR for my never-published article on the new funicular. Garden Railways magazine folded right after I sent it to them. It's located on the large island to the east. Design shows three separate lines- trolley, funicular, and main.
It is The Cholla Patch Railroad located in Tucson Arizona.

Mine is shaped like a grand piano; eighteen across the keys and twenty-five down the hood. The layout has a two by fifteen foot side bar utilized as switch yard.
 
When I proofread pre-post reply, it usually reads what I wanted to say. And after posting the replies, I read the confusion of what I was trying to say. My railroad 18’x25’ with a 2’x15’ three rail fiddle area.

If you have already done the 'donkey work' of preparing the article, why not send it to Garden Rail magazine?
UK published, but does have subscribers all over the world..

I knew what you meant, being an upright sort of chap.
 
Here's mine - currently named 'Ingoldsby Halt' by my dear wife. Test track to prove construction methods was built last year and now hoping to get at least the main circuit built this year. Comments welcome!GardensideLayout4.jpg
 
And here's mine. The route extension in the middle of the garden will not be authorized soon, so I`ll try to extend the terminus ;)

Here's mine generated in Rocrail. Lots of roundy roundy! Plan to fill hole in the middle with some mining/forest camp and a terminus. Geoff

Biscally just a big circle with a Y junction to allow access to the covered storage roads. I can let trains run or I can do end to end with trains having to wait at stations for trains in the other direction.

This is a very interesting and pleasant thread.

Thank you Duncan1984 of having created it.
Thank you for all who already posted.

At last I hope other visitors will upload their track diagrams.
 
My covered storage sidings as mentioned in the plan above. I find these ideal for the typical British summer days when you get spells of nice sunshine and intermittent showers. If a shower comes on, or lunch beckons, I just drive everything into the covered sidings where they will stay dry. Being so open they aren’t 100% effective for long heavy periods of rain, the trains in track 1 get wet. I wouldn’t be without this covered area now, it makes all the difference between being worth getting a lot of stock out or not on a changeable day.

Interesting thread!

Mine is basically a loop around the garden with reasonably complex stations either side of the house. Allows end to end and continuous running.Rhaetianfan G scale.jpg

I haven't got round to naming the stations yet, or (to be fair) putting much in the way of scenery or buildings down. The basic track plan is virtually that which I laid down temporarily to see what would fit the garden when I moved in four years ago, now ballasted and joints secured with Massoth clamps throughout. Works for me!

This is the Linz Gstadt Bahn track plan of 2010 - as it appeared in Continental Modeller in August 2010.
Purgstall station appeared bottom left a few years later
I have a track plan for the LGB 2 but it is not of a suitable standard for print....

I put my line on here, but looking at the marvellous empires created by the posters,I don't really want to be shamed! My line is basically an odd shaped dog-bone, no points or cross overs. I laid as a trial to see if I could construct something cheaply with scrounged pavoir bricks, as it seems to work, this year will see some sort of extension
 
I hope everyone feels free to share. It would be a shame if mutual interest was compromised. I think this is a very democratic and supportive forum. I have really enjoyed seeing everyones ideas, big or small.
I was wondering if there would be any mileage or interest in sharing operating systems. How many of these layouts are DCC, run live steam of rely on radio control?
