<p>You are going to be constantly running down to the south runaround and then shoving the car to the north. Up and down.</p><p>It will be nice to have a north run around. Lose the north power plant, extend the north interchange and build in a runaround with at least one engine, caboose and one car lenth. Reduce your north interchange tracks to three so you have some kind of scenery.</p><p>Im having difficulty with the Intermodal yard. It's just too short. Now, if you stuck a Mijack on it and docked a ship there (Or just a dock with water) it's a little better.</p><p>Overall I like the point to point. But after operating that for a hour or two, Im going to be tired from the walking to and from both sides of the thing.</p><p>You are doing your best with what space you have, I encourage you to view a variety of trackplans on this website availible free download with PDF reading.</p><p>Your buildings will have to be built and tested against your track on the floor of your room before you commit to building. The good news is that industries are varied and a dozen different sizes (Usually smaller) that are reasonably good fit for the space.</p><p>One consideration would be to cut industries in half and display them in Background. Extreme tight spaces you might go ahead and paste a scenic poster with a industry on it to switch with the track next to the wall.</p>
