Input on a "Temporary" Shelf Track Plan

[foulrift]

Matt- when Stein was helping me with my layout design,I started with a 6' long layout. I soon found out that no matter how the track was configured it was too confining. I found that I was able to add a full 2' to one side and the results were amazing.Not only was I able to do more with the track plan but I was able to add a couple of more buildings to increase the switching possibilities. Two additional things greatly helped-I used Peco code100 small radius turnouts although I know that many others prefer to use a smaller rail size and I am using a small switcher,in my case a SW7.
Anyway-good luck with your plan.
