I take a look see when my computer is back up.
Here's what can be done in N Scale on a 1x6'3" shelf board.

That's far better then 3 switches I was lmited to according to my track planner for a 1x6' N Scale ISL.
I was using Atlas C55 #5 switches which in real life is around 5" long(matches the C55 section straight).The Peco medium switch is the same size.
I knew something wasn't quite right.
