Reply to "New to O Gauge - Layout Critique"

Thank you for the quick replies...I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my plans.

Elliot, I hear ya about the spurs...as I get into my next step of schematic layout of structures and how the railroad will function I'll keep that in mind as it will be relevant.

Frank...thank you for the pics and thoughts.  I totally agree on the importance of some sleight of hand/imagination especially with a small layout like this.  Far as I can figure out l can't get the trains to transition to a 2nd level without crazy grades (my understanding is not to go over 4%)...but I was thinking of an independent trolley line over the main line with a bi-level passenger station serving both.  Disappearing trains is a great idea...I originally shied away from tunnels because of track cleaning concerns but that would be a good way to add a level of scenery too...now that you have me thinking of it, I could do a tunnel in the back corner against the wall and leave it open in the back for service.  How do you guys handle track cleaning with tunnels?  Love the detailed modeling in the pics you sent...looking forward to that part of this as well.
