I used part of yesterday to clear some of the existing bench work of top clutter. I cleared off enough that the basic footprint of my proposed "Riverfront District" switching layout was then available. That done, I began to place switches here and there to see what I could come up with.
After some ploppin' n' piddlin' with switches (while listening to "Happy Larry's Request Express"!) I came up with something that I think can be a "start here" point for continued refinement. For future reference, I made a crude sketch of the schematic. This gives me a "Version 1" track plan for my Riverfront District idea.
From there, I dug out some more of my photoflats (wrong scale, but oh well) and placed them along the backdrop to give me an idea of how this could shake out.
Below is a pic of my area I have to work with, complete with O and S scale photoflats leaning up against the backdrop! However, if you have a good imagination and squint a bit... you get the idea:
I'm liking what I'm seeing. I think this is going to be fun.
