Compact Plans

You don't need a lot of space for an enjoyable layout. Some of these plans have been built by modelers, including myself. Many are Z Scale, since 1:220 allows for a bit more layout in a given space, albeit at the expense of product options. Some of these plans qualify as "micro-layouts," although one would then need an arbitrary dividing point, so I just rolled everything together.
