Matt...when I got interested in model railroading 14 years ago I started with the very common north american idea of lots of track, complex trackplan, big scenery, big layout...until I ran across an article by a name from my childhood back in the 1970s.....Chris Ellis who has been involved in most aspects of modelling and modell railroading in particular. He is a huge proponent of smaller is better....he has written many articles expounding on the pleasures and the benefits and advantages about small layouts with very simple trackplans and keeping things simple. You have mentioned many of those advantages youreslf. All that to say....I love these simpler layouts and when they are well done find them of far more interest than huge basement empires. I look forward to following this project of yours.
