This is a first draft of a layout. The biggest problem I have is that I just can't picture the size--I mean those N thingies are itty bitty. The dimensions of the layout is 3 x 7--and I'm not married to that size. The main purpose of this layout is for rail-fanning while I figure out what I'm going to do with my basement.
The layout is modern Buffalo & Pittsburgh coal country. But the B&P hauls lumber and does locals.
I picture the bottom half of the layout as a hillside coal operation. The top half is industrial/rural switching. I have a couple factories, a freight dock and a junkyard. I don't have to use them. There is no backdrop down the middle, but the hillside will prevent seeing the one side seeing the other.
The top two tracks are kinda sorta visible staging. I would not be opposed to dropping down a level for off table staging.
I'll take any and all suggestions.
