Can anyone give me an N-scale layout that fits in a space 2.5' by 5' Including pieces needed etc. would help a lot. I am confused right now. >:(

By type and quantity,  how many pieces of N track do you now have? Is it Bachmann E-Z Track or another brand?

I have a good supply of straight and curved E-Z track with two #4 right turnouts and 2 #4 left. I would like to add some crossings. I also have two DCC engines and the control system that goes with it.

B44,

Given your space restriction and list of track pieces, I'd guess you want to build a combined oval and Figure-8.

This would need a DCC auto-reverser and insulated rail joiners to work.

Start building it on the AnyRail.com track CAD program.

Free download for first 50 track pieces, and fun to learn and use.

Hope this helps.

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

buehlerr44,
Click Here --- Look through these layout plans. They are not designed to use Bachmann E-Z Track but if you see one you like perhaps the track plan can be altered to use E-Z Track.

Wow, nice find, Hunt. 

Tons of ideas...

Scroll down to the 2.5' x 5' section...  and... voila,  there they are..

Joe, have had that source for a long time.

buehlerr44,

If you have not already done so, setup a temporary layout and thoroughly test the performance of all the Bachmann turnouts you have.
