I was not happy with the look of the layout so took most of it up.

The first thing on my list was to remove the street trackage and therefore remove the continuous run option, this did nothing for operation and took up valuable space.

Main street is now in one corner, this has allowed me to increase the runaround size and ease some tight corners, now my 33,000 gallon tankcar and 65' gondola will be able to run.

2 industries have been relocated to where maim street was and added a single track to store freightcars, the loco road had been moved and a new lumber yard will be in place where it used to be.

Here are some photos walking round the layout anti clockwise.

Sorry about the mess!!!

This is the former main street now.

This looks a a great improvement for operation.

I have made a start on the chain-link fence round my fertilizer plant, I need to modify the concrete base so the gates meet in the middle again...

I will also need to spray the fence as you can hardly see it!

It is still very much a work in progress, the building behind will be rebuilt and extended along the shed wall.

FWIW, I think your loco paint scheme is very prototypical.
