2. Passenger Train Operation
If you want to run passenger trains, then 40-foot boxcars is not the governing rolling stock. The governing rolling stock (the biggest rolling stock you are going to run - the stuff that determine your minimal curve radius and turnout angles) would then probably be some kind of passenger cars. What kind of passenger trains do you want to run?
Also, you are saying that you prefer mainline running to switching, and scenic realism to operation, yet still list "local freight operation" as your no 1 operation priority.
What does that mean, in your own words? What is your vision for this layout - if you were to describe a typical run of one of your trains - how would you envision it?
