Found some old track in the box and decided what a better way to figure out where things should go. Started laying out track to get a better idea of what I want and where I want it. The green papers are printable turnouts to try to figure out location.
This is the southern end of the Pemberville Sub. This is where the dogbone will be installed (hopefully) to give a more gradual turning radius. The village of Pemberville will be located here. Not much industry. Just a grain elevator, car dealership, sme shops, fire station and some house will be located here. Haven't figured out the turnout going into the elevator yet.

This is where Luckey, ohio will be located. Luckey will have a grain elevator, houses, a couple of businesses and a scout camp. Our family is very involved in scouting so that's a must. The corner will be getting some additional surface area so the track is not so close to the edge. (All in time.)

Sorry about the sun. this is the Lemoyne, Ohio section. The only thing in Lemoyne is a grain elevator, couple of houses, a post office and a mobile home park. Should be able to get that all to fit. I am also planning ahead for the future addition of Walbridge yard by putting a turnout in ahead of time that will run to the yard.
