16.5 x 7 Layout

Hi All,

After our first home purchase, the dust is settling (along with the checkbook) and I'm beginning my plans for my first "adult" layout .  My wife has graciously permitted me to use our bonus room over the garage for my layout (which is also the largest room in the house), and I believe I can comfortably fit a 16.5' x 7' layout.

I've leveraged SCARM to create my first iteration of the track plan, which is below:

 

The plan for the layout is as follows:

  • Track type: Lionel Fastrack
  • Widest Diameter Curve: O-72
  • Narrowest Diameter Curve: O-48
  • Gradient: None
  • Era/Rolling Stock: Mixed/Varied. Steam and modern diesel, scale
  • Control: Command: DCS and TMCC
  • Geography: Southeast, non-specific
  • # of Independent Loops: 4

 

I'd like to solicit suggestions from the OGR community regarding the track plan/ideas:

  • Are there any additional routes or turnouts I should consider?
  • Does the track plan appear to be an efficient use of space?
  • Any thoughts on where or how I could add additional sidings or yard space?

Thank you for the help and feedback!
