Let's see here, your yard can be a starting point. You would bring the switch engine out of the house and down to the yard. Build a train blocked for your industries as inbound freight (Example flat cars of lumber to a furniture factory) to each of the industries on the map. Return the switcher to the house and bring out the road engine. Hook to the train and take it out onto the main. Switch the industrys in turn by setting out inbounds and pulling out bounds. When you are done some hours later you will have a train that will need to return to the yard. Take it back to the yard the same way you came. Upon arrival, cut the road engine out and send it to the shed bring the switcher out and start to cut the cars into the yard for the next train (Possibly one that will carry this freight to the rest of the USA) By the time that train is broken down you may have to deal with a inbound train that brings in tomorrow's inbound and wants to pick up your outbounds. I can go on but this with one person and several different trains obviously can lead to a full day in the basement or whereever you have the layout. =)
