Sorry about not getting back to this before - it has been a fairly insane week at work. But never so bad it is not good for something - it gave me time to think some more about the track plan for the small layout.
And I fell back to my old ways, I just couldn't resist the somewhat more urban look of the 32nd street yard layout. I just had to compress it a bit more, to make it work in 10.5" of depth (which is how far I can go on this layout - 12", 15" or 18" will be too deep):
Track plan:

A mock up on the sections:

Looks like the runaround should work just fine:

The two industries at top left will have to be background flats fastened directly to the backdrop (which will need to be removable).
Will work some more on this tonight, the day today is taken up by the spring meet of the MR society over Kløfta - fellow Norwegian model railroader Svein and I will carpool over there to attend clinics on FREMO module building, weathering, soldering brass models and various other things today from 11 am until 5 pm.
Will try to remember to bring a camera, and get some pics (if they don't mind).
Smile,
Stein
