The chocolate factory at Hershey, Pa., is the focal point of this modern N scale layout plan. Designed by Bob Sprague, the plan fits some big railroading action into a 13 x 13 foot space, and has many clever features. You can download a PDF of the plan below.

  1. If you would like help creating the models, contact me. I have worked with blender for a long time and like an occasional art project. For an example: http://scott.ssross.com/articles/thevirginianlayoutmodel . I am building the Virginian and needed to see how the mountains should be sculpted, this is an evenings work so not really good enough for publication, but I know how to cut the foam.

  2. Thanks so much for the feedback! Tore and Matthias: MRVP assistant editor Ben Lake is indeed working up new schemes to be revealed later this spring. As you can probably imagine, these 3D plans require an extraordinary amount to time and talent to render. We've been keeping Ben pretty busy capturing our work on the Olympia On30 logging layout project, but he's still managed to squeeze in a few moments here and there to develop new plans you'll be sure to enjoy! –Kent

  3. Nice video. Your published track plans come alive this away. Love your explanations, too.
    This is track plans of the future. Thanks, David!
