This model provides pieces for building a model railroad. The pieces are modeled after actual HO Gauge track pieces. I use this to determine how I will build a track before I start laying everything out. It works really wel for me and I hope it does for you as well. Note that the base color of each piece can be changed just by changing the color of the major components. The rail and ties will always remain the same color. I usually change the colors of the different pieces slightly in order to easily differentiate the different piece types in the layout. Also note that only 1 switch is in the model (a turn to the left) however, you can replicate the component and simply Flip it around the Red Axis in order to use the right turn out.
