I second the buldges idea. I'm building a 10' x 10' L shelf based "N" scale layout. The main stretch is only 24" deep but on each end I build a 32" buldge. This allowed me to turn the trains around at the ends for continous run. I also second the graph paper idea. It took me over a month to settle down on an idea. I have multi levels using woodland scenics risers and grades. while it would have been much easier to keep everything on one level it's alot more interesting to have multi-level. My train when finished will allow 2 continous run trains plus switching in the yard and the coal mine spurs. I'll try to post a picture later. On my way to church and family. One other thought. I used Kato unitrack. In HO you can choose from several MFG of similar track. This allowed me to try an idea ansd see it in action while not commiting to nailing down or soldering together track. What works on paper doesn't always work so well in the real world. Dave
