6x2 not a lot of space to work with to have an operating layout even a time saver style. Are you going to run trains on it or is it just for shooting stuff?

really i just want it to put my trains on it. i really love the one with the NS engines on it. all i have is mainline widecab power tho but yea, if u or anyone can help me make a trackplan i would greatly appreciate it
 


an easy way to do it is get graph or engineering paper and sketch some ideas out if i can find one of them in my room I'll try and come up with a simple display type track plan for ya

kool thanks, i want somethin kinda like that so i can have buidings or something on there as well maybe a road on a side, i also need a 3'5" siding for my tre train. something similar to the ns one would be great
 
do you want it to have the abilty to be used as a time saver type switching layout? and do you have a little more room the 6x2 or is that it, (like space for a lift out track extender type deal. or even up to a 4x2 could do a little more with that
 
ok so im able to make it into an l shape now! i got the 6'x2' on one side and i added a 7 1/2' x 14" on the other side
