New project:  How many independent lines would you set up on an 8' x 12' ("L" shaped) layout?  (Flat surface, no crossovers or switches, rural residential town & scenery)  We are considering the visual effect rather than our usual "play with the accessories" layout.    As always, many thanks.

No more than 2 loops, and a bumper trolley.
