Hi all,

I'm in the process of designing a layout and was just looking for some feedback on the plan I came up with. I've attached a screenshot and the SCARM file. The area indicated in the screenshot is the maximum space I have to work with.

I just have a few simple goals for this layout, since this isn't going to be that permanent of a layout. I wasn't going for anything too complicated, and I wanted to maximize the length of the mainlines. I wanted a yard for storage/display (3 yard tracks, 2 for an engine shed, last one for cabin cars), plus a couple sidings for industries to give my layout some sense of purpose. I figure I will leave the center mostly open as an aisle, with some space for scenery along both sides of the mains. A duck under will be along the 111" side, probably near the yard throat. I designed it for Atlas O track. The labels are just potential ideas.

Anything look obviously amiss?

Thanks!b_layout_rev3_8a

I see the track arrangement.  What is the design?  Details?  

As drawn, it's too wide to reach things.  Are there access opening?  An aisle-way?
