Question re switching layout -- Inglenook or other?

[RobertInOntario]

— that looks like a cool layout. It’s not that large and looks manageable. This could easily be done on a piece of insulation foam, etc. Only problem, I’m such a steam enthusiast that I only have one British diesel! ... But I’m sure the plan could be modified!

Well, the easiest modification to change this from diesel to steam would be to replace the oil tanks with a water tower, and put a small coaling bin next to the headshunt (lead) at the bottom left.
Steam engines back in from under the bridge, stop to take on water, then go down to the lower left to get coal, and then park - either in one of the three spurs heading towards the brige, or backing into the two stall engine house.
On the other side of the bridge you use a loco-lift or some such thing to take the engine from the engine facility over to your other layout to run a train (if you feel like that).
Might not be 100% prototypical orientation of water tower/water spout and coaling bin/coaling tower, but you would have room to at any time display 4 of your engine engines and run a fifth.

Thanks -- again, great ideas. I'll have to study the layout plan again later today. Rob
