The plan sets presented here are updated and expanded versions of plan sets published in Garden Railways magazine
over a period of years. The original author of the plan sets is Ted Stinson, and all credit for the basic design and
implementaton go to him. Until recently the plan sets were available from Side Street Banner Works, but their
web site appears to be defunct, and copies of the original plans are no longer available, to the best of my knowledge.

My goal with these plan sets is to present a more detailed set of drawings complete with a parts list with suggested
sources. The sources listed are the suppliers I used to generate the 3D model the drawings are created from.

All drawings presented here will require the abailability of a printer capable of printing 11 x 17 inch paper.
A trip to your local repro center or Office Max/Office Depot, Kinkos, Staples, etc. should remedy the printing issue.

I have no affiliation with any of the suppliers listed and make no financial gain from them.
The suppliers chosen were chosen for either pricing or availability considerations. My effort is to make scratch building
attainable for even the novice.
