Bcauldwell, <br /> <br />I highly, highly, highly recommend you get ahold of copies of Model Railroader - issues Dec 1990 - March 1991. <br /> <br />In them, Bob Smaus built a module (it was HO, but that's no big deal) that was VERY SMALL - 6ft x 2.5ft. The trains didn't have anywhere to go at the end of the module (sort of like my diagrams above), but man, did he ever capture the feel of an intermodal facility! <br /> <br />He did it in part by having an image of a huge container ship on the backdrop. <br /> <br />Very impressive stuff - 12ft long in N scale, you could have an intermodal facility for sure, or at least a killer representation of one (like Bob Smaus had). <br /> <br />Yours would be twice as long, same width, half the scale size - you could get 4 times as much in there as he did (referring also to scenery, not just more track, etc.). <br /> <br />Check it out - seriously.
