Folded Eight

This plan has only one running track that runs around two ovals, giving a long run between the inner and outer stations. DMUs or railcar services would be well suited to this layout, and freight trains (shunted on the sidings bottom right) offer alternative traction. It would be possible to run two trains on this layout using a DCC system, but you’d have to be very careful not to crash – either by catching up with the train in front or, more spectacularly, on the crossing between the loops!
