  German Website, has 40 setup plans (linked above) plus also some general rules when it comes to track design, track switches, crossings.
  Top rule: always connect a switch's single end to a single end of another switch, never connect the single end to one of the double ends - or some parts of the track might never be reached.</p>
  <h2>My &quot;organic oval&quot; design rule:</h2>
  <p>Create a semi circle (6 curves), add any number of straight tracks at any space in between (or at the end), create the exact same setup a 2nd time and you can always connect both to a closed track.
