Babefluff, I hope you aren't too far along with your scenery? That will probably be the very thing that must go first with any serious changes. You are absolutely right about seeking more "operation." And, all of the above advise is valid up to the point of "decision time." You may find the "double oval dog bone" easy enough to reconfigure into an "inverted 8" which would allow you a far longer "single" track mainline. This would entail the mainline crossing over itself once within 10 feet or so. It would open up more right-of-way for spur lines or sidings to enter and exit either left or right from the 'single mainline.' As per your description, I fear you must sacrifice some cosmetics to greater operation but is that such a bad thing? All of us have been down this road, so don't be discouraged...You'll find a way out.
