Old school track planning tool
Author: WrongWayMurphy

I found this tool at our Tyler Tex, Cotton Belt Depot Museum.  One puts a clear track panel on the ring,
stab it in the ink pad, and create your track plan, with some suggestions on the page.

This tool is unused, and belonged to the late Con Sweet.

I did not know such a thing existed. I could see a youngster spending hours doing track plans, maybe instead of homework! Thanks for posting.

My old school track planning "tool" is 11x17 graph paper, scale rule, eraser shield and compass.
