I couldn't resist the temptation to expand the baseboard a little on the left half of the layout - 10.5" just got to be too narrow a depth. So I added 1" along the rear of the layout to make a little more room for the industry flats, and added about 5" of depth along the front to leftmost 2 feet of the layout, put the building crosswise, and added another turnout to branch out at the front here.

I'll have to run trains a bit to see if I want a fork and two spurs here, or whether it would have been smarter to instead use the extra space along the front for a proper loading ramp along the track.
Smile,
Stein
