Hello
Ive been doing some thinking lately and I feel that this layout might be a bit too crowded, particularly for a norwegian prototype.
One layout that I really like is Roger Nicholls' Glendale layout. I feel it has a nice amount of track with plenty of opportunities. The trackplan does not have any dimensions, but Ive read somewhere that the size of this layout is 9 ft x 1 ft 6 inches. I got some more space to work with, which I will need with the rolling stock Im planning to use.

Im thinking about using the tracks in the bottom left corner for the container/car transport terminal, and the other tracks for the remaining industries. Stein, do you have any input on how to modify Glendale to my requirements, or the pros and cons with this layout?
All help is appriciated.
