My other comment on urban scenery is that most layouts I've seen that were urban the whole layout was that way so it looked like the trains seem to come from nowhere and went nowhere but just run around in circles inside the city limits. In real life shippers wouldn't use trains for that they would use trucks .

One could say that about any loop layout and justly so..

On the other hand...

Urban scenery looks right at home on a ISL or on urban industrial lead switching layouts like Lance Mindheim suggest. Thumbsup

My shippers/receivers uses rail and truck since prototype industries do the same.

Regardless of the type of layout we build its all about getting the best "play value" for the money. IIRC Tony Koester covered that subject quite nicely several years ago.
