well... havent really sketched it out yet but i designed a 500$layout which includes Benchwork plywood foam walthers buildings scenery water and smaller accesories last night Its basically a oval, angled to the edge so its not straight on a passing siding with a freigt station on the passing siding and a passenger or the main 2 spurs 1 leads ot the coal yard while the other leads to a Grain Co. the grain turn out is a facing point trnout so you would need to se off the cars for the coal and then run back to the poassing siding and wait for passenger train to pass before heading to the grain mill while facing the other direction, or do the whole thing the opposite way delivering the grain first This is single control with a MRC Tech 4 200 the roster includes an RDC a trainman GP40 a trainman 50ft + 40ftboxcars, hoppercar,centerflow, and caboose for 120$ The day starts out where the freight rolls ofut of the staging and heads into town, At the passenger station the RDC is waiting, The freight then goes to deliverr the coal, the passenger waits at the passenger station on the main because the freigt is pulling off the passing siding Then when the frieght retursn a short time later power is shut off while the RDC is sent around (then sent off on a switch which leads into a tunnel on the side for staging The loco runs around its train and head out to the grainmill delivering the cneter flow The freight returns to the passing siding and after delivering the 2 boxcars to the freight house and gets back up to the caboose, the RDC comes out of hiding and continues its trip as power is shut off to the passing siding, when the RDC gets back to the passenger station power is turned on to the Passing siding and the loco and caboose head to staging for added fun allready have 1 of the 2boxcars at the Freigth station after they have delivered all cars and are left with caboose or caoose andboxcar the freight goes back into hiding, You can also add some laps in between set outs etc and when the freights done the RDC has the main to its self If ya want I can make a trackplan to show here f anybodys interested, Simple layout+lots of fun for a little less that 500$
