I got bored so I decided to draw up the layout in solidworks 2004, a 3D planning program. Its primary purpose is solid modeling of mechanical engineerning components, but I though it turned out decent. ITs not drawn exactly to scale, so if things look a little close, thats because they are.[:D]
sorry for the crappy photo quality, and you can click to make them bigger.
this is the original track plan, as you can see, its an adjustment of the N scale carolina Central from MR 1996. I added a small amount off the side, and it will provide room for a turntable and engine servicing facility. The three spur tracks will serve a coal mine, and the two spurs will serve some type of factory, havent decided yet....
This is my planned addition. I have room for a few more feet, and I cna add a staging yard:
Here it is In 3D:
and with elevations added:
