101 Track Plans has been a classic for model railroaders since its publication five decades ago.

Featuring plans from Model Railroader magazine from the '60s, '70s, and early '80s, each track plan has a newly written, informational description of the design. The track plans range in size from simple 4 x 8 foot and smaller layouts to room- and garage-sized showpieces, with the majority focusing on mid-size layouts.
