My original layout plan was for the home we lost, and adapting everything to a much smaller space and a smaller scale has proven tougher than I thought it would be.
Fair enough. I know you are planning an N scale layout, and that you are okay with a point to point design, and I think you mentioned that you want one junction town (or at least somewhere where you can connect to the rest of the world).
What kind of era, engines, rolling stock, train lengths and what kind of railroading are you envisioning for your N scale layout ? Any prototype scenes that inspire you and you would like to try to recreate or use for inspiration for your layout ?

Steam circa 1900, standard gauge, short trains due to mountain grades. One mine, one factory and one town. Freelance, and well outside of the box.
Inspiration? Emmett Brown, Nikola Tesla, Jules Verne and Isombard Kingdom Brunel. I'm not very conventional.
