Here is the trackplan for the small layout. It consists of a small switching section on the right side, siding for open hopper cars for the cement plants bulk unloaded on the left side, a small one track siding for picking up a couple cars on the left side + a small one track siding on the right side for the same, and a couple run around tracks in the middle for a small engine to get around the cars after it picks them up from the small siding on the left and switch them into the buildings and sidings on the right side....

What do you think? This will fit on the shelfs that i have right now, all that will need to be done is to add a few inches to the front of the layout right now for the run-around tracks. This should keep me busy till i get the M&ET modules started, all i need to buy is the track/rail and a few sheets of cardstock printed with concrete panels for the bridges/ramps
