GeoTrax Track Layout Ideas, Part III

In this post I would like to mention a couple online galleries that provide plenty of inspiration for building your next GeoTrax track layout.

* GeoTrax group on Flickr.com
* User Galleries on GeoTraxWorld.com

GeoTrax group on Flickr.com
This group is pretty small right now, I think mostly because it is difficult to find. There are currently 7 members and the majority of the pictures have been posted by the user "bmooneyatwork" (aka Brian).

Brian is one of the most creative contibutors to the GeoTrax community on the web, he has posted over 100 pictures of his truly one-of-a-kind track layouts. Check out his layouts for Stacked Bridges, Max-the Human Stanchion, GeoTower and his picture response to TechMan2553's GeoTower (aka product of severe boredom) video on YouTube. If you haven't seen the video I am including it here...have a look, it is quite amazing.



User Galleries on GeoTraxWorld.com
These user galleries are probably more like what the rest of us are capable of building. Some really nice layouts here--even some ideas for those of you who like to build your layouts on top of a train table.

New GeoTrax Cement Mixer Truck

When I received my Lift N' Load Quarry in the mail, I noticed on the back of the packaging that there appeared to be one more GeoTrax new release that wasn't being talked about yet. It is a new Cement Mixer Truck.



This appears similar to the garbage truck, police car and ambulance released earlier this year. A push vehicle that makes different cement mixer truck sounds at the push of a button. I have only seen these for sale on eBay so far.

I got my Lift N' Load Quarry that I ordered from Amazon.com. Here are some pictures of the front and back of the packaging.

GeoTrax Track Layout Ideas - Part II

Another great source for GeoTrax track layout ideas comes from an eBay user (e-store-24) who has created some well-designed track layout manuals.

Only on eBay - One-of-a-kind GeoTrax Track Layout Manuals
     o Vol. 3 - Elevation Track Layouts
     o Vol. 4 - Table Top Layouts
     o Vol. 5 - Workin' Town Layouts

The track layout manuals can be purchased on eBay for $9.99 + $2.50 shipping. These track layouts have been designed using professional CAD graphical software. Look at the detail...

It appears a total of 5 track layout manuals have been created to date. Vols. 3, 4 and 5 are actively being sold on eBay.

Here is a little bit more about these manuals...

Volume 3 focuses on the elevation series of GeoTrax sets and includes 16 different track layouts. The layouts have been well thought out so that the trains can run in both directions and won't get stuck in a loop. Track layouts are also large enough to get 3, 4 and even 5 trains running at the same time.

Volume 4 accomplishes the goal of creating space-efficient layouts designed for table top (or floor) assembly. Parents can appreciate track layouts that don't occupy floor space throughout the entire house. Learn to assemble feature rich layouts in compact spaces--manual includes 16 new layouts.

Volume 5 is geared towards building layouts with the Workin' Town Railway set plus a minimal amount of additional sets.

All layout manuals include a table that shows a list of all layouts and the sets required when assembling the layout. Here is an example from Vol. 5.
