Your dream layout????????????

I've thought about a big around the walls shelf layout, that all comes together at a double ended yard, that would function as visible staging. It would have three or four cities on it, that could each be done as a stand alone switching layout. It would be large enough that a train running laps on the mainline could easliy stand in for scheduled through freights. <br /> <br />What I think I really want, is a smaller shelf layout along one or two walls. My current 4 1/2x1 would be the "West" (left side) end, with unscenicked staging to the left, and two more towns to the "East." There'd be a stretch of mainline between the current layout, nad the other two towns. The other two would be physically close, but at different elevations, preventing a direct rail connection between them. Any cars moving between the two, would require an interchange at the current section. (I really need to name that town.) I'd probably put more unscenicked staging out past one of the new cities, but leave the other one as the end of it's branch. <br /> <br />It would probably be no more than 12' long sans staging, and only two feet deep, at it's deepest point. This is N scale, btw.
