When I designed the layout, I used a design program to rough out ideas until I came up with something I liked and would fit in my available space. When I built it, the track was laid out using the eyeball process. I always wondered how much track was on the layout. I had a rough idea, but I never had added it all up. So, I measured out the track...
The mainline run, not including dead-end sidings, consists of 1177 inches of track, or a hair over 98 feet. In HO scale (1:87), this is a track distance of 8533 feet, a little over 1.6 scale miles. No wonder it took me so long to get it all down.
