[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse I know this is not what you want to hear, but slow down and think things through. You are about to invest a lot of money and time into this project. It only makes sense that the better you plan, the better the layout will be. Sure your first layout is where you make your mistakes, but why make mistakes that can be avoided. Do some research and study on track design. Read Track Planning for Realistic Operations by John Armstrong. It will give you a background for ways to design layouts that will keep you interested for years instead of ones that you will tire of before you finish. Check out this layout from John Armstrong. Now this is packing a lot into a 4 x 8.

Would it majorly affect me if i removed it and added more industry tracks?
