Super. Cox locomotives are not as common as the other brands, but the drive truck is comparable to a Mantua/Tyco MU-2 drive, and they are pretty good runners. All of my Life-Like, Bachmann, AHM, and Rivarossi four wheel drive diesels died decades ago and got turned into dummy locomotives, but one Cox F-3 and seven Mantua/Tyco MU-2 drive locomotives, (EMD GP-20, Brill Trolley, EMD F-7, 2 × Plymouth CR-4 switchers, Plymouth MDT, and a Baldwin RF-16 Sharknose) are about to celebrate their fiftieth birthday on my railroad, along with about 15% of my locomotives and about 25% of my rolling stock. The Cox and Mantua/Tyco locomotives operate great, inside and outside, MU well with my more modern locomotives, and have a nice patina on the paint job, after all the years of use, that makes them look very realistic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
The trackplan is Atlas' Waterlevel Western. Its made from standard HO track, but could be made from flex track if you wanted to. I don't know where you can find it, but searching it on Google turns up some results.

Very nice the prr floodlight car you have is a tyco and the Napa boxcar is a model power since I have one of those as well in my collection.
Thanks! I thought it might be Tyco, but forgot to look. lol
The Cox army loco is an F3.
Thanks! I tend to forget about the F3. Lol
Although needs a service. Cox are a little grumby. Easy buggys to service, tho. Have 2or3🚂🇨🇦📸🙋

2 questions. Where can I find this track plan? And can you tell if it’s flex track or set track?
