<p>Hello all. I have a quick question to run by everyone. </p><p>I'm starting my first "real" layout, but I've hit a snag. Here is where I'm at, I was pretty much given the right to use a small 5'4" x 6' foot table that use to be a work bench. I think that this is a good start for me since I'm just now getting into starting my first actual layout. I plan on using a scenic divider to make the layout appear some what bigger. I have part of my track plan figured out for one side, but I cannot figure out anything that I like for the other side of the table. </p><p>Here is a what I have so far:</p><p>http://www.geocities.com/lilbeckett88/index.html</p><p>Red line: A simple one track hidden staging; Green line: What I plan on building mountains to help seperate the scenes. Blue line: Is the scenic divider.</p><p>Now, I cannot firgure out what to do with the other side of my layout. I would like to enter the bottem left with a double tracks into the scene, and maybe leave the top middle as a single? Now I would like to have a small coal operation (Maybe just like two tracks heading into a coal mine?). I would like to have another industry or two. (Possibly a small oil/fuel loading/unloading platform, and maybe a small two track "freight yard" for incoming/outgoing cars). </p><p>Thank you for reading all of this, and hopefully I am clear in my explaining everything. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible.</p><p>LilBeckett88 </p>
