Well if you can do N scale, the Red Oak in the Jan issue is a close fit. There are also a world of HO plans that can reduce to that space, including some that are pure switching. In HO however it will be pretty much limited to a switching layout. However the British concepts work really well in that small a space. Also Ben King's Timber City and Northwestern is a great example of what can be done in just a slightly larger space than you have.
If you are looking at a specific industry or location, such as a harbor or paper mill, there can be a lot of work in a small area as well.
Do you have room for a drop down staging track something like MR used in the Rice Harbor and Virginian project layouts?

That's not a common size for a HO layout so,Google may not help except for time saver type switching layouts which I would avoid..A advance search under micro layouts might yield some results.I highly recommend designing your layout instead a building layout based on other's ideas.
If its N Scale then it's a workable area for a small loop type layout with a yard and industry area..

Ok everybody as you might know I had previously asked for advice on building a layout and general info on the hobby. I have learned a lot and ive done some reaserch on my own. I e taken some measurements and the space I'm allowed is 6' long and up to 2'1/2" wide. Any suggestions for a track plan?
