I will definitely mock everything up in paper and cardboard before going too far. The layout is going to be a shadow box sitting on top of a long bookcase, spanning a television in the middle. I want the railhead about 6" above the current surface, so building the base and sides of the box might be the best step to take next.
I can make the service hopper and tank cars switchable. It would just depend on how carried away I get with the hookups. A tank car with the dome up and hoses attached would be really interesting, but I would have to try my hand at making it in HO scale before deciding if it's worth losing a spur over. I doubt that would be the first area I tackle in terms of scenery, so I can just play with it before deciding if it's going to be a static scene or not.
