After working on Obsidian's ideas and mine, I've tweaked my a bit adding more dramatic terrain and such but kept the main train layout close to original. I would love big sweeping curves but I've already invested in the track and therefore going forward with this. If I get a BIG locomotive that won't handle these curves I'm going to build an "Around the Room" shelf to run it!
Against that far back wall there will be a platform holding a downtown area with more buildings. The road in the middle lower forground will go over the staging yard to join up with it.
