Exploring Layout Sections

The Sections screen presents your layout as a collection of themed areas. Each section represents a distinct part of the model railroad — a town, a mountain pass, a rail yard — with its own character and story.

Section Cards

Each area appears as a card with:

  • Thumbnail image with a play overlay on hover for quick media preview
  • Section name and a short description
  • Category chips (Intro, Technical) indicating available content types
  • View Details button to open the full area detail page
  • Play button to preview the section's intro video in a popup

Default Sections

A typical layout includes sections like:

  • Tamarack Station — Main passenger station with platforms, signals, and station activities
  • Thunder City — Urban district with city sounds, street lights, and animated signs
  • Eagle Nest & Payette Canyon — High mountain vistas and canyon operations with scenic trestles
  • Payette Subdivision — Rural mainline with crossings, bridges, and long scenic runs
  • Roseberry Yard — Busy freight yard and switching operations
