I would think that a nice large grain elevator would fit nicely in the narrow space along the two tracks on the right side of the layout. Any kind of industry should fit the space above the spur that is inside the loop, on the left side. Then something like a refinery, or fuel depot, or other such industry that can have an odd "footprint" could be on either side of the spur on the inside of the loop, on the right side. <br /> <br />For scenery, maybe some slight hills in the upper right and upper left corners of the layout, with some trees and a house or two. Maybe set them up so that the track next to them have to go through a "cut". Then vegetate the whole layout as you desire. Access roads could go from the upper left corner into the center, or from the bottom to the center, or from the lower right hand corner (past the grain elevator or whatever) into the center. I would wait to locate the roads until after I had the industries themselves laid out. <br /> <br />---jps
