More Than Track Planning

The Layout Design Special Interest Group (LDSIG) seeks to collect and share information about the design process for model railroads, to help plan, develop, coordinate and exchange knowledge of model railroading, and to generally promote the hobby. As a longtime member of the LDSIG, and an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University, Cameron Turner brings a knowledge of the practice of design to the hobby of model railroading. In this clinic, we will discuss techniques to design not only a satisfying model railroad track plan, but a model railroad layout.
