Started a preliminary laying of track tonight to test fit a few things and see what I will have to work with. Starting out with a small freight yard and repair shop on a 2'x6' area. Should be able to expand it to about 10' in the next few months or so. Once I determine where everything will be going it will be laid out on 2" foam above the wood. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts, I'm always interested in other viewpoints.
This was the original plan that was in my head. Three lines on the left for rolling stock, each line will be about 12" longer than what is in the picture. The right two fingers will make up the track that go to an engine repair shop.
I quickly decided that I could fit one more rolling stock line in there once I get one more switch. #4 switches for the freight yard and #6 switches for the entrance/exit to the freight yard and engine repair area.
