Track plans with LGB
The gallery has 43 public track plans built with LGB. These are the ones it recommends right now:
Changes
9 November 2026
-
13000 Shape corrected Appearance
Crossing 13000 was mirrored. With the straight leg (300 mm) horizontal, the diagonal leg (341 mm) now runs from top right to bottom left, as at LGB. In existing plans the two diagonal connectors are now on the other side of the straight leg; track attached there has to be laid again.
-
13000 Shape corrected Appearance
Crossing 13000 had two legs of equal length (300 mm). According to LGB the diagonal leg is 341 mm long and the straight one 300 mm. The diagonal leg is now longer, and the centre of the crossing stays where it was. In existing plans the two diagonal connectors move outwards by about 20 mm each; track attached there connects again once it is moved up. Source

10151 New
New: reverse loop track K (diode track) 150 mm from the reverse loop set, formerly 1015K (10151). The set’s isolating track T is the isolating track 10152.

-
16150 Appearance
Turnouts and crossings were missing sleepers, mostly near the joints. The gaps are closed, and the sleepers there are spaced like on the rest of the track.

12360 Shape corrected Appearance
The electric three-way turnout 12360 was drawn the wrong way round. On the LGB part the right-hand route branches off right at the start of the turnout, the left-hand one 75 mm later, ending level with the straight route (375 mm). In existing plans the ends of both branches are now in a different place. Track connected there has to be reattached.
-
12050 Shape corrected Type corrected Appearance
The electric turnout 12050 was drawn as a left-hand turnout. According to the manufacturer it is right-hand (R1, 30°) and now has the same shape as the manual turnout 12000. In existing plans the branch now lies on the other side. To keep the previous shape, replace the piece with the opposite-hand turnout 12150.

The curves of the double slip switch had too large a radius (970 mm); one ran beyond the track piece. They now have R2 = 780 mm as specified by the manufacturer, with short straight sections at the ends.
