24 wrz 2021 · N-Trak standards are 40" to the top of rail, with 1" plus or minus adjustable legs to accommodate uneven floors. Which is a pretty good all-around height for a model train layout of any gauge. It also allows adequate room to sit on the floor or on a roll-around legless chair underneath of it to work on wiring.
The optimal height may depend on what you are trying to see during layout operations. I personally feel the "Jolly Green Giant" view can be preferable, particularly if you are trying to see a fair number of operating accessories and not just the trains going by.
8 sty 2011 · There are different heights depending on how tall you are and what is the optimum viewing you want. I am 5'8" tall (68") and my layout varies from 48" to 54" tall. The layout mostly runs a long the wall of the layout room, and varies from 24" to 30" wide for the most part.
31 paź 2015 · The instructions suggest using 31" legs for the modules. I'm a member of several different module groups, all use different module heights. The HO group uses 42" (adjustable from 41"-43") from floor to top of rail, the On30 group uses a height of 36" to 38".
The "ideal height" for any model railroad is an individual preference. I'm 6' 4" tall and prefer a minimum of 48". My optimum track height on the layout is 62". The scenery is going to be at least 7' off the floor. The minimum height of the benchwork is 42".
Generally, the best height for a model train layout depends on your height and personal preferences. However, most people recommend setting train sets up anywhere from 45”-54” off the ground. Before making a final decision, take your height and viewing preferences into consideration.
Layout height is a matter of what works best for builder. There are really no standards. My pike has a base level of 54' and benchwork is at 48" which allows ample room for negative scenery (desends below track level). This height of 54" and in areas up to 66" in mining areas allows trains and structures to be viewed at almost eye level.
