New British Layout -- Open to Feedback

[RobertInOntario]

Rob,
The frustrations you are running into now, are the same I was discovering as I sketched some ideas for you. Barring an elevation change, it's a very limiting size and shape.
...
What you've got now really doesn't look bad at all other than the need you've already pointed out for more scenery. What's wrong with it that you want to see changed? What isn't it doing for you?

Thanks, Galen! Actually, (just to clarify), I am pleased with the result. I just need to fine tune it now, especially with the scenery, deciding if the location/angle of the street needs to be changed, where and what industries to choose. In creating a small, practical layout, you have to use your space really well. So I'm trying to let the layout's design (and limitations) dictate what type of operation and industries I could add.

I also see that there is room for me to add at least one more siding, so that will add more freight operations. I could also add a sort of fiddle yard where the siding is located in the foreground but I'd have to lengthen the layout by adding another 12-18". I could create a staging area there by adding 1-2 more sidings there. I won't do this just yet, I'm planning to test the layout out for awhile to get a feel for it. ... FYI, it's basically a miniature version of my 4x6 layout -- I'm definitely a creature of habit!

I hope your garage layout works out well and I'd be interested to see pics of that as it comes along. I also hope your recent move went well!

Take care,
Rob
