     This SINGLE TRACK OUTER OVAL features just one mainline but adds a siding  (if you want two tracks, we sell a DOUBLE TRACK OVAL -- with no siding). The layout is 47" x 24" with no incline and generous curves (220 mm). Check out the video and you will see how serious a train you can run on a layout that big and with curves that gentle. That's right: long trains with American-style locomotives and American-style cars are not only NO PROBLEM, they are what this layout was DESIGNED FOR. 
 
     We would encourage you to watch the video a 2nd time -- this time to focus on what we call the ILLUSION of Z Scale: When you combine one of our inserts with an outer oval, now the mainline train disappears from sight for so long a time that there is no sense of a train chasing its own tail--instead, it now looks, especially when you take one step back, like a train that is a mile away.
 
     As for the siding, it has a non-powered turnout. You could run the layout with a singe train that can back onto the siding, but our preferred option is to permanently park a second, non-operating locomotive with cars on the siding as a DIORAMA. That is what we think looks best!
 
     The website price is 10% less than that which is on eBay and includes FREE SHIPPING.
 
AND NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT AN IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF ORERING OFF OUR WEBSITE: FOR WEBSITE CUSTOMERS WE CAN EASILY CUSTOMIZE THE SIZE OF THE LAYOUT. On eBay, we are restricted to a single stock size that we can keep on hand (and we picked 47 x 23 for that mainly because shipping is so cheap). But, if you love modeling, we think you will adore what becomes possible were we to to extend the layout, making it either LONGER or WIDER (or both).
 
OR PICTURE THIS LAYOUT ON A BIGGER BED WHERE ON THREE SIDES (BACK, LEFT, AND RIGHT) A NEW BASE SECTION SITS 2" HIGHER THAN THE BASIC LAYOUT-- WHERE EACH OF THE SIDES CAN EXTEND AS FARA AS YOU WISH--and be perfect for modeling or for you to ask us to put in a point-to-point track line on it (non-powered OR auto-reversing, as you wish).
 
NOTE THAT THIS LISTING INCLUDES THE SINGLE TRACK OVAL AND SIDING but NO insert layouts for the center (there are all sold separately). The price includes the track, a non-powered turnout, a power feed, and all glued-down scenery, including the hand-ballasted track (but with no buildings, power control, locomotives, or train cars). 
 
     We hope you will also check out all of the smaller insert layouts we sell, like the ELONGATED FIGURE 8, the BOOKCASE Line, or the TRUNK LINE (train in a tree) -- This outer loop layout was designed to surround any of them.  In fact, if you will revisit the video, you will see that our favorite option is to have this big layout on the outside with the Elongated Figure 8 inside it - you will  have industrial modeling on the left, natural beauty (Crater Mountain and Lake) in the middle, and residential modeling (Crater Lake Village) on the right.
 
     AND THAT LEADS TO AN IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF ORERING OFF OUR WEBSITE: WE CAN EASILY CUSTOMIZE THE SIZE OF THE LAYOUT FOR YOU. On eBay, we are restricted to a stock size (and we picked 47 x 23 for that only because shipping is so cheap). But, if you love modeling, we think you will adore what becomes were we to make this layout either LONGER or WIDER (or both). OR ASK US HOW WE WOULD LOVE TO SET THIS LAYOUT ON A WIDER BED WHERE ON THREE SIDES (BACK, LEFT, AND RIGHT) IT RISES 2" ABOVE THE HEIGHT OF THE BASIC LAYOUT--AND, ON EACH SIDE, CAN BE AS WIDE AS YOU WISH.
 
     one note: because each layout is custom built, there will be some difference in appearance between the layout you get and the one used for the original video and pictures.
 
     We offer free shipping. We do NOT accept returns.
 
     Size: 47" L x 23" W x 3" H. Radius: 220 mm -- no incline. All track is Rokuhan.
 
     FINALLY: WE WANT TO SAY IT ONE MORE TIME: if you order JUST the Single Track Loop with Siding,  you will NOT get any insert!!!
