In need for some fresh layout ideas

<p>After a lengthy conversation with my friend, I was able to pin down some more druthers about his planned layout.</p> <p>He definitively wants to have a certain "Western" flavor to his layout (as much as people in the US think of "Lederhosen and Beer" when Germany is mentioned, Germans think of gunslingers, desperadoes and Western movies, when the think of the US [swg]).</p> <p>This pretty much determines the setting and the era of the layout.</p> <ul> <li>Setting: Southwestern US, somewhere in the dry region</li> <li>Era: I could persuade him to settle for a period of 1910/1920, instead of the 1880´s he initially wanted to have. There is just not enough choice of locos and rolling stock for the earlier period.</li> <li>Type of operation: Branchline</li> </ul> <p>This is what I have come up with this morning:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ATSFDryGulchBranch1.jpg?t=1286803636" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Still needs a lot of tweaking, so comments are highly welcomed!</p>
