See one nice N-scale layout proposal with track route around the walls:

The Layout Room of John in N Scale





More pictures and the SCARM track plan of this project can be seen in the link above. Hope you will like it :)

The only thing jumping out at me immediately is the ability to reach into the upper right corner without messing up any scenery to fix a derailed train, cleaning track etc.

Yep, a good point that I didn't think about... Perhaps, John is tall and has long arms :)

Mixy, thanks for posting this plan, and for bringing the SCARM gallery to our attention.  However, the Layout Engineering board is intended for layout builders who wish to maintain a discussion-rich blog about their own layouts.  So, unless you plan to build this pike and post progress here, or John plans to join Railwire and post his progress, I am inclined to move this thread to the N Scale board.

Thanks again and no offense intended,
Gary

Thank you for the note, Gary. Please, move the theme to the appropriate board.

I will inform John about this thread, because if he intends to build the layout in the real world, the comments from the forum members may be of great help.
