Thanks Tom. 
I started tracklaying. The yard and industrial sidings are code 83 and I'm using Atlas turnouts. I'm not using switch machines and staying manual for the turnouts. I won't have room for the Caboose Industries turnout throws that I have used in the past so I fabricated some turnout 'springs'
      

It provides enough 'push' to keep the painted in place when the turnout is thrown, much like the peco turnouts. Once painted, I'm hoping they will be a bit more invisible.

   

With the turnouts fixed, I tacked them into place, along with the 's' curved flextrack in the picture. In the background you can see the two turnouts for the run-around track in the yard. 

   

The 's' curve might seem a bit tight, but I'm only running and engine and probably only two car through it at low speeds so it should be okay.
Next, the handlaying!
