Finally found that box of old train mags and started flipping through them. Gonna take a while, there's a bunch. Tons of plans. Just need to find the one i'm thinking of. Your mention of implied ops is a good idea for running your passenger units. Can't escape that darned compression in this hobby. Initial thought is that a classic folded figure 8 with some sort of staging would be a good start within 8x9 feet. Yeah, it'll be a roundy, but I think you could squeeze in 2 or 3 decent scenes to be viewed seperately from inside or outside the "donut". Plus you have enough room for those 24 to 26" radius curves.
