Tomix Fine Track - Small Layout Designs
Each of these Tomix Fine Track layouts is 60" x 20" (152 cm x 50 cm). This dimension is a favourite of mine. It provides long sections of straight running within a restricted layout area.
Layout 1 allows for 3 trams to operate at once. The lines are unconnected but they all have a passing loop or turnouts. I usually use a combination of Tomix Wide Tram Track and Tomix Mini Rail Track for the turnouts. I have indicated where I have used the Mini Rail Track on the diagram by using darker colours.

Layout 2
Layout 2 is a very interesting layout built with Tomix Mini Rail Track . It only uses C140 curves and has an unique wye arrangement which is similar to the Toden Arakawa Line Depot. The depot is accessible via a 90 degree crossing. It creates a nice point-to-point approach to the oval layout. The various turnout combinations add to the variations that are possible on this layout. I like to think of this layout as the "obstacle course for trams" or the "tram test track".

Layout 3
The third layout uses Tomix Wide Tram Track although it also works with Tomix Mini Rail Track. I call this layout a "folded dog bone". It uses both C140 and C177 curves. Ideal for a contrast from the two other layouts on this page. It has some interesting curves and possibilities for adding variations to the design.
