DOUBLE check those switches. They will eat up length.Double check those buildings. If you already have em GREAT! If you are going to build em, measure twice build once.YOur trackwork near the staging is unnecessarily complicated. Try to cut down on the number of switches. Try to justify every single peice of track and mentally/or on paper work out each track and how it will be earning it's keep.Did you just ternimate the mainline at the passenger station before it crosses water street? That mainline needs to keep going to the "East" of that track plan.Remove that switch from the middle of Philadelpha street.No wait.. on second thought leave that switch alone. But DO remove the set of tracks closest to the Stewarts Hardware row along Railroad ave.Relocate the Buchanan Grocery warehouse to the corner of 9th and Water and have your dock on that track there. Give railroad ave some room to breath and you a way to reach the switches in case of derailment.Scrap the one peice of track that was serving the current Buchanon Grocery, reverse the switch... and then...#10 Passenger Station gets pulled out into the "South" by a small bulge intruding just a little bit into the people space.Run a track from the switch at the former Buchanon location and then lay down track up to about where the orginal passenger station was and tie in somewhere along the main, that way you will have a run around.One of your staging tracks is going to be used as a drill, I dont see any way around it.If you dont understand any of this, let me know precisely and I will try again to explain my thoughts in the problem areas.I think that is a good plan.
