Looking for some critiquing of my shelf layout track plan...

I'm working on a track plan for my shelf layout. <br /> <br />My goals are: <br /> <br />1) Continuous running and switching allowed at the same time. <br />I achieved this by allowing a train to "roll by" on the yellow interchange track (SF) line while switching off the red (SP) main, or vice versa. <br /> <br />2) Narrow scene - no seeing trains "turn around". This is achieved with the removable "loop" that is completely unscenicked. I want to make it as light as possible so that it sets up & tears down very quickly. <br /> <br />3) Lots of City scenery - I will cram the area in the back with buildings, flats, paving (lot's of track in the pavement), etc. <br /> <br />The layout is 2.5ft deep by 12ft long - not including the return loop. <br /> <br />The two tracks at the lower left are spurs where the SP will dump off cars for the SF. I have no idea if that makes prototypical sense or not, but it makes sense to me[:D] <br /> <br />Any advice from the pro's? <br /> <br />(Note the small line segment at the bottom left of the first picture is the length of a 50' boxcar). <br /> <br />[IMG]http://www.railimages.com/albums/jamescuevas/aaa.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br />[IMG]http://www.railimages.com/albums/jamescuevas/aab.jpg[/IMG] <br /> <br /> <br />
